Celebrity Chatta

Tilda Swinton is featured in the August 2011 issue of W Magazine.

In the issue Tilda talks being a mom to 13-year-old twins:

“When I first saw the twins, I really liked them. And, at the same time, there was a ghost over my shoulder saying, What if I hadn’t liked them? Kevin spoke to that feeling. It is that nightmare scenario: What if you don’t feel that connection to your children? There’s no preparation for having children. In Kevin, the woman I play is in mourning for her past life, and yet she looks at this dark, nihilistic kid and knows exactly where he comes from. He isn’t foreign to her; she sees herself. And that is, quite literally, revolting to her.”

She also talks winning an Oscar for the 2007 film Michael Clayton:

“[It] was lovely, but I have to admit that I’d never seen the Oscars on television and really had no idea that it was so important. It was a very long show, but it did move me up from the children’s table, professionally, in Hollywood.”

Her new film We Need to Talk About Kevin releases September 2011.
