There’s always been a lot to admire about Tilda Swinton. And now there’s this as well. A wonderfully moving speech, about the light and dark of Art, and how it feeds the soul, how it lets us know we have souls, how in many ways, it is the stuff of life. Paintings, writing, music.

It’s a wonderful speech, made my eyes prickle in parts. I hope you like it.

She’s a fascinating woman. Love that she takes such a variety of roles. Did you see her in We Need to Talk About Kevin? Sensational.
She is, and I do too. And I did. Amazing. Love her unconventionality, and how she lives in the north of Scotland. Sometimes I think I’d like to live in the north of Scotland too.
