I like the Pseuds' Corner feature in Private Eye magazine, which highlights people - usually actors and artists - talking pretentious bullshit.

I found the following on a BBC article today from Tilda Swinton and had to share it:

--

To accept the role of Marianne Lane in the movie, her fourth collaboration with Italian director Luca Guadagnino, co-starring Ralph Fiennes and Dakota Johnson, Swinton herself specified that her character should be silent.

"It was a time in my life when, for personal reasons, I was all out of words; I didn't want to say anything," Swinton elaborates. "I wanted to do the film though, and this was the only way I could make it happen."

Tilda's partner is Sandro Kopp, an artist. Here's the Wikipedia entry about him:
"His work deals with the concept of mediated presence and explores the meeting points of classical painting and digital technology."

Does Sandro Kopp have to eek out a living by taking photos with his phone in art galleries?

Life must be tough since he left Spurs?

I read that article. You've got to have a lot of self confidence to believe someone will completely re-write a screenplay just because you can't be bothered to learn the lines. I wonder if she even spoke to the other cast and crew while filming?
