There is something insane about a lack of doubt. Doubt - to me, anyway - is what makes you human, and without doubt, even the righteous lose their grip, not only on reality but also on their humanity.

From Tilda Swinton

I sometimes think I was always left-wing. I know that sounds completely crazy, but I do know that I asked questions when I was about four, and I remember noticing that I wasn't getting an answer, and I remember it annoying me.

From Tilda Swinton

I don't love the theatre. I'm just not one of them.

From Tilda Swinton

Everybody thinks for one moment when they're pregnant that they're actually carrying the spawn of the devil.

From 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. But at the same time, I remember noticing I was relieved this thing was present in me. And I hadn't realised there might be a doubt.

From Tilda Swinton

The thing that keeps me being a performer is my interest in society's obsession with identity, because I'm not sure that I really believe identity exists.

From Tilda Swinton

Usually, with me, the project is always the second thing. The film-maker comes first. Films grow out of the relationship.

From Tilda Swinton

I find myself apologising for not being a proper actor. I never intended to be involved in the film industry and still do feel that, with the exception of a couple of brief skirmishes with the film industry.

From Tilda Swinton

I don't have a career, I have a life. I don't have an exterior judgment on what would be good or bad for me.

From Tilda Swinton

My whole relationship with Bowie started when I was 13, and I bought a copy of 'Aladdin Sane' when I didn't have a record player. I had this record for a year before I could play it, and it was the image - not the sound - that I was attracted to. I just saw this image and thought he was my cousin.
