Tilda Swinton More Quotes by Tilda Swinton More Quotes From Tilda Swinton There's an alarm bell that goes off in my head if I can sense that I'm making a mistake. Tilda Swinton bellsalarmsmistake I'm a huge Marvel fan and the fact that they take the liberties that they do in filmmaking I think, if anything, that it dignifies the comics and it says, "Yeah.

Tilda Swinton doghousehot 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. Tilda Swinton mindcharactermean We were very clear that this film's [Young Adam] so much about a relationship that's borne out through the sexual contact, and that that's the way they communicate.

Tilda Swinton doctorsmindthinking Working with the editor on the set means that it is possible to keep track, at every moment, of the exact temperature of the trajectory of the scene - and know precisely what is required to continue, or precede, the action already shot.
