Tilda Swinton doesn’t "feel like" an actress.
The ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ star – who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of ruthless lawyer Karen Crowder in ‘Michael Clayton’ in 2007 – can’t relate to other actors when they discuss their craft.
She told variety.com: "I don’t know what it would take for me to feel like one [actress]. I understand it’s a strange thing to say because I do keep saying, ‘Yes, I’ll dress up and be in your film.’ But when I hear proper actors talking about their lives and how they approach their work, I feel like I’m up another tree."
Swinton – who spends a lot of time in the Highlands of Scotland – isn’t able to answer how she prepares for roles after she’s been cast in a film.
She explained: "When people ask about how I approach a character – well, I wouldn’t know how to approach a character if I tried.
"People will ask about choosing a role – I don’t choose roles. People will talk to me about preparation. Aside from putting together a disguise, I’m not aware of any preparation at all."
