Tilda Swinton quote
Aug. 31st, 2005 12:24 amFrom an interview in the current issue of BlackBook, after being asked how her self-image changed when she became a mother:
It is the cadence of her answers I like as much as anything.
TS: .... It also made me feel more like a woman than I ever thought I would, since I was a boy, really, for most of my life.
How were you a boy? What do you mean by that?
TS: Well, I was. I never was a girl, to be honest. I was a boy when I was growing up and I was sort of waiting to become a woman.
Can you go back, once you've become a woman, to being a boy?
TS: Oh. yes, because the wonderful thing is that you can be everything once you're a woman. Once you're a woman, you've got a free pass.
It is the cadence of her answers I like as much as anything.
