Tilda Swinton on gender
"I don't know if I could ever really say that I was a girl – I was kind of a boy for a long time. I don’t know, who knows? It changes."

"That whole idea of transformation is at the heart of what I’m interested in as a performer and not least through the idea of gender. It’s a very personal matter. I can categorically say that as Orlando does in the film: Yes, I’m probably a woman."

"I enjoy walking the tightrope of identity, of sexual identity, of gender identity."

"The whole idea of being fixed in any way, it just makes me claustrophobic." (On the move towards gender-neutral awards in film)
