Academy-Award winner Tilda Swinton speaks with Katie Couric about her new film, "I Am Love", not wanting to be an actor, and the Internet rumors about her love life.
I really don't see the negative things some of you are saying about Katie. I'm British, and this seems just a simple conversation between two people. I think Tilda is such a generous person, so completely unself-conscious and seems to listen and engage with Katie so naturally. I don't see this jarring difference. Maybe we all need to take a leaf from Tilda and not be so judgmental. That's why I love Tilda!
Wow!! I know now why I love her. She is so unique and just lives her life so naturally and organically. So inspiring to anyone who wants to live life in the moment.
I love her. She makes you want to give her all the respect you possibly can just by being there and being who she is. I don't even like the way she dresses or her hair but she makes it all look amazing just with the way she carries herself.
I am absolutely intrigued by her outlook on life and film. I feel like she is so humble and has such a gentle and elegant presence. her voice is quite hypnotizing, and i adore it. however, it bothers me a bit that katie spoke over her and sort of put words in her mouth.
I loved her in "Orlando" too, and I told her that when I met her in NYC on the set of "Okja" a few weeks ago. She thanked me and looked so touched. Such an incredible being!
I do find some flaws here and there in the interview, but this interview did gave me almost 30 minutes of hearing Tilda speak about herself. And I love to hear her speak. Her whole presence and aura and her personality, it is all very intriguing. AND HER HAIR MAI GAWD :O Love it :)
Ive yet to see an interview of swinton where the interview isnt talking to her like some creature. Shes so fucking grounded... just that she on a different level with Bowie, lennox, prince
Tilda Swinton and David Bowie was a great couple on Bowie´s "The Stars Are Out Tonight" Music video. Swinton was also great in The Orbital´s "The Box" Music video. She is a unique person. :)
I would totally LOVE! to meet her. and talk with her, and see what she sees. I would imagine what she sees in people and in the world is beauty, and otherworldly..but there under the surface, just waiting to be enjoyed.
funny I can't name one American actor/actress who is so articulate. Why is that? and regarding the polite Katie Couric. Umm honey you asked an intelligent actress several times in this interview is she 'had fun' working. I think you need to learn a bit about the acting world and film world in general. It is a job. It takes incredible hard work and skill. Rarely is it fun in the manner you referenced it. Sadly...I don't see KC as an intelligent interview. But rather quite generic.
Not so much an intelligence difference as a cultural and class difference, I think. Nothing unusual in the language Tilda employs or the ideas she espouses, for her class. We've just witnessed Ms. Swinton managing, quite artfully, to wrangle a lengthy series of compliments from Katie Couric. She is quite aware of the quakings that her plummy tones can produce in an anglophile. I suppose this would have been more interesting had she been interviewed by someone less awestruck.
"Gender Bender" ?! Wtf, you cant say that to Tilda Swinton!! Or anyone! I don't know how that term is used in America, but in England it's rather offensive! Silly woman, do your research, how rude
Tilda is completely bored with Katie. Catie is a tedious bore of mediocrity and Tilda answers as if she were talking to a child or some unsophisticated midwestern cheerleader who's trying to appear intelligent. She has 30 minutes with Tilda and all she can come up with are the same mundane, self-evident questions and unaware pedestrian responses, Entertainment Tonight could have pulled off in 2 min. Never has Catie appeared so dull, an insult to her profession.
She is so polite in person, I went up to her at a party gushing about her and she was so gracious.
She has the most precise and gentle way of annunciating her words.

why couldnt everyone in the world be as educated and thought provoking as tilda.
What a better world it wud be.
i love her voice and accent.

I am in love with Tilda Swinton. I don't think any more needs to be said.

You'll never have her, Anthony. Because she's mine--mine I tell you!!!
She does such a good job in her roles in movies... makes the characters seem so believable
Tilda's such a great artist model as she describes. I imagine she'd be a lot of fun in person.
Very fascinating person. I feel so at ease when I listen to her...
i freaking love all these 30-min katie couric interviews!
I love her voice.
Tilda had to be a "Bowie-ite" when she was a teen. *Loved* her in Orlando!
I loved her in "Orlando" too, and I told her that when I met her in NYC on the set of "Okja" a few weeks ago. She thanked me and looked so touched. Such an incredible being!
She is 56 !!!! Not one line or wrinkle on that face. She could pass for a teen-age boy.
Geez... she is still young at her age of 60.
Almost 60 Tilda Swinton looks like David Bowie in his 30's
It's called European genes and old money. If you grew-up in a castle, you would have a carefree outlook too!
@@ivorytower99 Also called having lots of cosmetic procedures with money be it old or new.
@@eddenoy321 True. But I don't know "if" Tilda has or has not.
You see! Just as Tilda was conveying... *This* is how "internet rumors" start.
I do find some flaws here and there in the interview, but this interview did gave me almost 30 minutes of hearing Tilda speak about herself. And I love to hear her speak. Her whole presence and aura and her personality, it is all very intriguing. AND HER HAIR MAI GAWD :O
Love it :)
This interviewer just gained a hundred neurons by talking with her
This interviewer just seems profoundly flawed in the presence of Tilda Swinton.
Tenderness...
Intrigue by...
Her awesome warm...
Smile...
A state of grace...
Revealed her meditation...
Of life, love...
Precise & simple...

Thank you!
applaud Katie's brevity interviewing Tilda but 'gotcha' kind of journalism suits Katie better ...
This was a wonderful film and she was enchanting.
She reminds me Thom Yorke, they look alike. They could claim they are brother and sister. I like them.
I'm still under the impression she has two husbands.
Tilda Swinton and David Bowie was a great couple on Bowie´s "The Stars Are Out Tonight" Music video. Swinton was also great in The Orbital´s "The Box" Music video. She is a unique person. :)
Katie is such a great interviewer in this.

Ugh Katie. Does everything about Tilda seem strange to you? ... Because everything about Tilda enthralls me.
Tilda said I was a good actor

SHE LOOKS A LOT LIKE THE La Roux GIRL

"She comes from russia... she's rushin"

making a little eastern star sign on your hand in the first couple seconds katie?
No. She has an androgynous look but she's not. You can wiki her if you'd like. :)
...Is she a lesbian?
