More quotes by 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
I always think of the word 'abandonment' when I think of the character.
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
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
Most of us live our whole lives without having an adventure to call our own.
Tilda Swinton
I'll tell you one thing, and this is banal to say because it just makes it sound like it's all planned, and nothing is planned at all. But one link is with The Deep End, and one link is that I'm making a film later on that revolves around the relationship between an innocent party and a dead body.
Tilda Swinton
Maybe it was my revenge on people who had been unkind to me as a child. But it was very easy and a thrill to freeze up children.
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
Sexuality is, of course, a great way of having a conversation between people.
Tilda Swinton
I think that a real film fan experience is about a kind of omnivorous experience.
Tilda Swinton
It's wonderful to actually have an opportunity to get real and show how complicated and fascinating sex is.
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'm from the same planet as David Bowie.
Tilda Swinton
Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place.
Tilda Swinton
You can sit next to somebody on the underground, and you can look at them quite intensely, but you can never, ever know what they're wearing under their clothes.
Tilda Swinton
Derek Jarman shared the responsibility for making the film. He didn't necessarily know what he wanted - he knew what he didn't want - but you had to keep coming up with stuff.
Tilda Swinton
We talked [with Scott Derrickson] about making it kind of muscular and practical. Yeah it's a fantasy but what's the difference between fantasy and reality really?
Tilda Swinton
How do we identify ourselves, and how do we settle into other people's expectations for our identity?
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 think of great masters, like [Alfred] Hitchcock, for example, who works absolutely within this sensational realm. You feel like you can always tell what temperature a room is in a Hitchcock film because the people feel alive, they don't feel like they're just being filmed on a stage.
