MURAT YILDIRIM IN THE ARABIC MAGAZINES Murat Yildirim & meeting at the University of ODT | Page 13

Female: Are there any groups that attract attention more than others

Murat: I know that ODTU has a good reputation, Kazi (?) also has a good reputation, I did not want to single out just ODTU, not but seriously I do not that ODTU's School of Theater has a good reputation, do you perform on this stage

Female: We perform at the Engineering school, and we also practice there as well, Thank you

Female : Hello, you must be recognized by many people, based on the popularity of the serials which you have performed in, for example most people probably know you as Demir, how do you feel when people do this, and think that the character you portrayed is actually your personality

Murat: Serial, Television, its like when people purchase a television they actually also think that they have purchase the television channels, for example when flipping through the channels and they cannot find something to watch they blame the television. But in reality you purchased the television, and there are many channels to choose from, and if you don't like one you can switch to another channel. But there is a psychological side to this too, for example you purchase a DVD and watch it once and then it just sits there, but if the same movie comes on the television you watch it, this is a group psychological thing, everyone you know is watching it so you watch it as well. But in a serial where you we are in your home after 1 or 2 times, the public then starts to view us as one of them, I view you as my son, you look like my cousin, you look like my brother, this is a very nice thing that people feel this way. For me I like this thought process very much, really enjoying it as well. People have viewed me and Demir, or Savas or other names, this comes and will go, but what is really important is that I am Murat Yildirim, and I want to remain as myself.

I am still at the beginning of the road, actually really at the beginning in cinema as I have only 2 movies, and I am hopefully that I will be able to succeed,. Its like when I am answering everyone goes silent, did my answer satisfy you question. No I thank you
