Archetypes are always [in my film-making]. It's sometimes interesting to just flip them a little bit and see the underside.

More quotes by Tilda Swinton
I would say that I think the film [I am love] is absolutely about nature, it recommends human nature. You don't need to recommend change, that's inevitable, it's the only reliable thing we have.
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
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
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
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'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
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
I think there's a dishonorable tradition in Hollywood to give the idea, particularly to children, that evil characters are dark.
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
I'm from the same planet as David Bowie.
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
It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien.
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
I'm really interested in the idea of long, long life and transformation and immortality.
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
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
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
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
I think that a real film fan experience is about a kind of omnivorous experience.
