Tilda Swinton Years Quotations

When I say that it's taken us [with Luca Guadagnino ] 11 years to make this film, what I mean is that it was 11 years ago that we started to talk about a kind of cinema that we wanted to make together.

Eleven years is a great length of time to prepare a movie, it would be wonderful to have 11 years of funded preparation.

To be honest the work that a producer does is work that I've done for most of my working life. It's work that I started to do, for example, when I worked with Sally Potter on Orlando. We developed it together over five years.

Years ago, when James Bulger was murdered, every newspaper front page was talking about evil. At that point, having suppressed it for years, I remembered when I was four or five, I tried to kill my own brother.

There's no need there to sit with the filmmaker for 11 years to develop the script, or go round the world raising money.
