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.

More quotes by 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
We're living in a new Beat time, in my view. And it's very difficult for us to hang on.
Tilda Swinton
Sexuality is, of course, a great way of having a conversation between people.
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
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
Archetypes are always [in my film-making]. It's sometimes interesting to just flip them a little bit and see the underside.
Tilda Swinton
It's wonderful to actually have an opportunity to get real and show how complicated and fascinating sex is.
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 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
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
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
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
Eleven years is a great length of time to prepare a movie, it would be wonderful to have 11 years of funded preparation.
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
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
It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien.
Tilda Swinton
I've only ever gone into studio films with people I really like.
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 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.
