Tilda Swinton

“The one thing that I know is that you win by being enthralling.”

“The thing that's important is not something called 'art.' It's about life, and it's about generosity and it's about curiosity.”

“I'm a great believer in the fact that you can't go wrong with a good story.”

“Transformation is my favorite game and in my experience, anger and frustration are the result of you not being authentic somewhere in your life or with someone in your life.”

“What is essential is to suddenly make a new path that doesn't really have a destination. The destination is the path.”

“I don't really have a career. I have a life, and I've been making films for 30 years.”

“What I’m interested in is the landscape of the human heart.”

“I think the only way to be truly alive is to be in a constant state of revolution.”

“I think that the most revolutionary thing that you can do is be yourself.”

“I follow my nose. It's as simple as that.”

“I'm not a big fan of the word 'celebrity.' I'm a big fan of the word 'actress.'”

“The great thing about cinema is that it's a collaborative art form.”

“I've never been interested in being a celebrity. I'm interested in being an artist.”

“I am not a great believer in dialectical struggle. I am a great believer in the power of the soul.”

“I'm not particularly invested in being beautiful. It's not a value I have.”

“The whole idea of 'gender' is something that is imposed on us.”

“I don't believe in the concept of an ideal world. It's not a world I'm interested in.”
