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.

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
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
I've only ever gone into studio films with people I really like.
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
How do we identify ourselves, and how do we settle into other people's expectations for our identity?
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
I always think of the word 'abandonment' when I think of the character.
Tilda Swinton
It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien.
Tilda Swinton
Art is good for my soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place.
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
I think that a real film fan experience is about a kind of omnivorous experience.
Tilda Swinton
Sexuality is, of course, a great way of having a conversation between people.
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
Most of us live our whole lives without having an adventure to call our own.
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
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
The whole thing of working in collaboration with filmmakers is the thing that I love the most, and possibly the thing I do the best.
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.
