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.

More quotes by Tilda Swinton
This self-obsession is a waste of living. It could be spent on surviving things, appreciating nature, nurturing kindness and friendship, and dancing.
Tilda Swinton
I think that a real film fan experience is about a kind of omnivorous experience.
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
I've only ever gone into studio films with people I really like.
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'm just really old [in Doctor Strange]. Just really, really old. There is I suppose a sort of theme tune which I'm really interested in.
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 would say, and this sounds like a rather immodest thing to say, but the truth is it's probably the most amazing thing of all, it's pretty much exactly what I thought we were going to make, what I hoped we'd make.
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
It was just me, naked as underneath my clothes right now, as all of you are.
Tilda Swinton
It's wonderful to actually have an opportunity to get real and show how complicated and fascinating sex is.
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
I never quite understand the way society decides who is beautiful and who is not. But an open face and a capacity for kindness always feel like reliable signifiers to me.
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.
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
[My work] just develops and develops, and I'm very nicely served by the universe: just as I'm ready to take the conversation further with myself, some other individual pops up, like David McKenzie did, with this idea of making this film [Teknolust], and provides exactly the leap to the next adventure.
Tilda Swinton
We're living in a new Beat time, in my view. And it's very difficult for us to hang on.
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
This is the launch of the Doctor Strange film interpretation, of - in my view - a classic, which has been interpreted many times by other graphic artists and this is just our graphic interpretation of The Ancient One. I would say the whole approach is about a kind of fluidity.
Tilda Swinton
Most of us live our whole lives without having an adventure to call our own.
