Tilda Swinton (as Martha)

It's sort of glancingly about gender, but it's really more about boundaries. It's about classlessness. It's about internationalism. It's about someone who's immortal, by the way. And that feeling of endless possibility, that's something that really fuels my motor. And I've always had that sense that, you know, why limit yourself? Why say yes? I'm going to be this kind of woman.

I'm going to dress only like this. I'm going to be this kind of man. I'm going to dress and behave only like this. It's such a waste. You know, we don't feel that when we're children. I think maybe I had a very light-filled childhood before I went to boarding school when I was 10.

I think that during those first 10 years I must have felt, and I'm only guessing at this, but I must have had a sort of bedrock of... of possibility. And I really loved it. And I would like to keep it going in my life. And we all knew it when we were little. We could dress up as anything, a dog or a dinosaur, an old lady, just get a stick and bend over. There's no great miracle to it.

And we somehow, as we get older, we're encouraged to lose that sense of possibility and stick to our guns and And then if we want to change, it's some massive trauma to society. You know, the whole idea of transitioning being terribly, you know, much other people's business, which, of course, it palpably is not. It is nobody's business than the person whose life is being informed by it.

I was named queer by my queer colleagues when I lived amongst them when I first became an artist in the 80s. We were all queer, meaning that we were living in a world that felt self-determining for us and felt very much at odds with what we call the straight world, the square world, which was not necessarily to do with, you know, heterosexuality or homosexuality.

It was to do with an attitude of mind and an attitude of living. And so I was named, it's not that I named myself particularly, but I was named as a as a queer fish. We were queer fish. And I'm proud to continue to be a queer fish. And I've been in very happy and loving relationships with men for the last, whatever, 30 years with my children's beloved father, John Byrne, who died last year.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that. He's one of my mothers, my teachers. Yeah, he went last year. But he and I had these miraculous children. And then I've been with Sandra for 20 years, and we're very happy, but we're all queer.

Being queer, being odd, being quiet, being shy, being from Scotland. This was a very...
