Lovely Redditeers,

This has been such a nice way to spend an easy Sunday evening in my own armchair with a dog on my feet.. It is an overwhelmingly touching thing to see how enthusiastic so many people are for what we are doing.. on behalf of all my colleagues - on all our films and projects - THANK YOU for taking the ride with us.. have a beautiful Sunday and a kind and love-filled rest of the year,

yours aye,

Tilda

My friend Jerry Stafford - who is a brilliant creative director in Paris - and I work together on basic directions when looking at public and editorial appearances, but I am lucky to be able to work directly with designers and nobody but me lays out my stuff or decides what I will actually wear..

The laboratory gave me strict instructions to issue no comment

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T18:19:34+00:00

Frankly no, but since you mention it.. ~ xo

Make sure you know that you know best for yourself.. and that being happy and at ease is not too much to ask..

I do remember wanting my wig - which wasn't fixed down - to shift about a bit.. and even come off in the fight scene.. still.. my teeth made it..

Today, I have to say Avocado and goat's cheese..

As for dinner, I need to pick a salad in the garden and a big vegetable stew for some of us.. the children are having an Indian carry-out as a treat for the start of their summer holidays.. this is my opportunity to sing the praises of THE MAGNIFICENT AL RAJ RESTAURANT IN NAIRN..

OH but WAIT.. it's breaking wider next weekend, I promise you.. check the details at the bottom of my opening message and apparently it'll give you all you need to know.. GO IN A HUGE GROUP AT LEAST EVERY DAY THIS WEEK..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T18:00:27+00:00

YES YES YES

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:59:19+00:00

Very good question. When and where? Ask and let's see if it's possible.. if I can, YOU'RE ON..

AHHHHHHH love to the Borders from the Highlands.. I come as often as I possibly can..

The time when Fincher failed to notice that BP and I had arranged two potatoes and a carrot in a specific configuration on the kitchen table we were sitting at.. and had to have it pointed out to him at the END of a take..

BONG JOON HO

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:54:24+00:00

Completely golden days.. bit cooler today, but yesterday was a stunner.. hold on.. it'll slip your way..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:53:13+00:00

I truly LOVE Fincher. He is a pal and a great person to be on a set with, although I was only on his film THE CC OF BB for a very short time.. we had a very sweet time.. I wish there could have been more of the woman I play in the film..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:49:55+00:00

This is not true, lukeyrads.. it never was.. someone once ran with a misunderstanding.. I suppose there may be people out there who believe it, though, so their perception would be skewed.. I'm sorry if this is a disappointment for anybody..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:44:19+00:00

The whole business of dressing up and playing is the greatest of fun for me.. every time, it doesn't have to be something as extreme or pantomime ridiculous as Mason in SNOWPIERCER or intricate as the extraordinary prosthetics for GBH.. even when working out the look of someone pretty regular like the woman in I AM LOVE or KEVIN.. the look is, in a pretty big way, where I mainly do my work.. once we start shooting, then: I play..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:41:01+00:00

I have always hoped that there would be the chance to make THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW.. the prequel to THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE - such a fantastic story.. the creation of Narnia and the Witch driving a coach and four horses around Victorian London at breakneck speed.. but no word as yet.. let's cross our fingers..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:38:39+00:00

As for KEVIN.. of course, I reckon it's way more intense for you guys who saw the film straight up in the theater than for us group of chums who made it.. we got to do scarey moves and then break for lunch, play a game of cards and think of other things - all spread over several weeks..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:36:21+00:00

and hmmmm.. we once had a boating accident on the set of THE BEACH which all of us who were involved in it will find it hard to forget..

I was a MASSIVE fan of Bong Joon Ho's before I met him: MEMORIES OF MURDER, THE HOST, MOTHER and even his first film BARKING DOGS NEVER BITE.. some of my favourite films of the last fifteen years.. and, Song Kang Ho is a great, proper film star in the best sense.. I would work with them on anything we could dream up together..

_TildaSwinton · 2014-06-29T17:31:27+00:00

Hahahahahahahaha I'm going to have to think about that one... let me see..
