This self-obsession is a waste of living. It could be spent on surviving things, appreciating nature, nurturing kindness and friendship, and dancing.

More quotes by Tilda Swinton
One of the wonderful things that I've always loved as an art student, what I always loved about comics, was that they are interpreted differently by different graphic artists all the time, so now film is doing that thanks to Marvel Studios.
Tilda Swinton
I've been on the other side of the table many times, trying to get people to be sympathetic to projects, and I've been the victim of that kind of intense kindness masking extreme stupidity.
Tilda Swinton
I was not, and am not, officially a producer of that film [I am love] but the work of what a producer does I learned at that stage and to a certain extent I've been a producer ever since.
Tilda Swinton
It was just me, naked as underneath my clothes right now, as all of you are.
Tilda Swinton
I think that a real film fan experience is about a kind of omnivorous experience.
Tilda Swinton
What very often happens when people make films about rich people, the camera is quite mesmerised by the opulence and quite theatrical in fact.
Tilda Swinton
I remember noticing, when I had my babies, how much I liked them, and not just loved them, but I was really into them. I knew I was going to be curious about them, and up for the mayhem ahead.
Tilda Swinton
A large part of my filmmaking self has to do with my love of being in the cinema audience, and my relationships to what I want to see on the screen, what I have seen on the screen and what I don't want to see on the screen again.
Tilda Swinton
Archetypes are always [in my film-making]. It's sometimes interesting to just flip them a little bit and see the underside.
Tilda Swinton
We must hang on to the idea that we can actually change things. That's the sort of environment that Joe finds himself in, in Young Adam.
Tilda Swinton
I always think of the word 'abandonment' when I think of the character.
Tilda Swinton
I think there's a dishonorable tradition in Hollywood to give the idea, particularly to children, that evil characters are dark.
Tilda Swinton
I have this very strange relationship with my work, which is that it's like a conversation between me and it.
Tilda Swinton
The work is different in the sense that I haven't had to travel round the world raising money, or work from the genesis of the project. But the collaboration feels clear always, it's sort of my drug, I'm in it for the conversation. The conversation's the most important part of it.
Tilda Swinton
The only real struggle [in Doctor Strange] was casting spells - learning all these amazing things with fingers, and then remembering what to say at the same time. They would say, 'So you have to put your hands there, not there because the light is going to go [MAKES SOUND] so that kind of masks... but it was all good.
Tilda Swinton
When I say that it's taken us [with Luca Guadagnino ] 11 years to make this film, what I mean is that it was 11 years ago that we started to talk about a kind of cinema that we wanted to make together.
Tilda Swinton
I'm very much drawn to these stories. This is a huge, great story [in Doctor Strange] about the possibility of living beyond everything, living beyond mortality, living beyond all the immortal confines, living beyond the planet as we know it. It's mind-blowingly no limits, and I think this is going to be something else.
Tilda Swinton
It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien.
Tilda Swinton
I mean, even in terms of the Marvel universe, this [Ancient One character] is going on a side street into a major piazza that Marvel hasn't even been to before, because it's all about creation and not so much about destruction and forestalling destruction, it's about your mind.
Tilda Swinton
I think that film festivals, we're very often given to understand, are about filmmakers and about films and about the industry of filmmaking. I don't believe that they are, I believe that film festivals are about film audiences, and about giving an audience the encouragement to feel really empowered and to stretch the elastic of their taste.
