Tilda Swinton
motivation

Behind Swinton's rather cool, conservative, somewhat impersonal and businesslike demeanor (as described on the previous page), she is much more passionate and emotional. Tilda Swinton often conceals her vulnerability beneath a veneer of toughness or indifference.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, she is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Tilda Swinton is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and she only allows a special few into her inner world. Like a wary animal, she is cautious and mistrustful of those she does not know until "he sniffs them out". She is highly instinctive and intuitive. Tilda Swinton usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though she may be unable to clearly articulate why she feels the way she does. Her feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Tilda Swinton also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and she forms very intense love bonds and attachments. She is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that she perceives as a threat to her relationship with someone she loves. When Tilda Swinton commits herself to someone or something, she is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Tilda merges with or "marries" the person she loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for her, and often stormy and nasty. When Swinton has been wounded, she is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Tilda will most certainly never forget the hurt and she often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to her.

Whatever she does, Tilda does with passion and fervor, and she often goes to extremes. Swinton can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Swinton can also be very narrow-minded: either she is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for her at all. Rarely is Tilda Swinton emotionally detached and objective. She definitely has a fanatical streak. She is also immensely strong-willed and her tenacity in pursuing her objectives often borders on obsession. She is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Tilda Swinton loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Tilda never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Tilda Swinton tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

Swinton is very attracted to world travel, foreign cultures and studies that expand her intellectual horizons and broaden her understanding of the world.

Tilda Swinton is philosophically inclined and concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting an overall picture of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy her mind much of the time.

Tilda Swinton tends to see things from her perspective only and to be rather subjective. She also enjoys talking and expressing her views but does not always listen as well. Tilda Swinton has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

She is a positive, vital, energetic and active go-getter. She enjoys competition, and her initiative and self-confidence make Tilda Swinton a winner.

While Tilda Swinton does have a strong drive, she frequently holds herself back. One of her challenges lies in learning to endure frustration and to patiently overcome the obstacles in her life (or her own internal caution and resistance!).

Tilda Swinton has a healthy amount of self-control and self-discipline. Swinton also radiates a rather responsible, trustworthy, solid feeling about herself which will win her the confidence of others, especially her superiors.

Along with her energy and drive, Tilda Swinton has high ideals and an active fantasy life. There is a dreamer and an idealist in Swinton, as well as a doer and a fighter. Tilda wants to win but not at the expense of others, and this may be somewhat of a dilemma for her.

While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Tilda Swinton also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

Sensitive and imaginative, she is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. Tilda Swinton is impressionable and receptive, and often has experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational mind. Tilda has an abundance of dreams, visions and longings, but does not always have the concentrated will and stamina to make them materialize. Gentle, idealistic and peace loving, Tilda often seeks to avoid the harsh realities of life. Tilda has an ethereal quality about her.

She is very receptive and sensitive but has a tendency to over-idealize, making her approach to love relationships, romance or marriage somewhat unrealistic. Tilda Swinton also tends to be a bit absent-minded and naive, leaving herself open for being taken, swindled or lied to.

She is inclined to feel uncomfortable or restrained in some way in the presence of others and prefer to be alone. Tilda Swinton is modest and shy in her approach to others and tends to accept more responsibility than she really needs to.

It could be hard for Tilda Swinton to face up to her mistakes because of her insecurity and self-doubt. Her early years may have been undermined by poor relationships with one or both of her parents who may have been ill, weak or alcoholic.

Tilda Swinton loves to entertain and likes to cultivate social contacts. She enjoys forming close personal relationships with others and most of them should be harmonious. Tilda prefers teamwork rather than separate efforts to realize her goals.
