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
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
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
As a performer, I'm constantly fascinated with the idea of being able to know what anybody else's experience is, and how misleading all informatives, like appearance, can be.
Tilda Swinton
About actors' lives... I'm not the person to ask. I don't live an actor's life and I really don't know. I probably read less about actors' lives than you all do. So, I'm in the dark about all of that, sorry.
Tilda Swinton
Sexuality is, of course, a great way of having a conversation between people.
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 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
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
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.
Tilda Swinton
In The Deep End, you have a woman who looks like a J. Crew mother who can manage it all. Then we begin to realize what's going on inside. Every time I see one of those women stuck at a stoplight with the children in the back of her car, I sort of think, What have you just done? What's going on in your life?.
Tilda Swinton
How do we identify ourselves, and how do we settle into other people's expectations for our identity?
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
For me, sex is a refraction of the thing about identity. In the sexual contact, which is usually - but not exclusively - between two people, you do retain separate people.
Tilda Swinton
I always think of the word 'abandonment' when I think of the character.
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
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 was just talking to Benedict [Cumberbatch] who's got a little baby and knows his father lives in his phone. We as humans are evolving really fast, so everyday we're hit with that.
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
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
Eleven years is a great length of time to prepare a movie, it would be wonderful to have 11 years of funded preparation.
