"I don't know if I could ever really say that I was a girl – I was kind of a boy for a long time.

"That may sound crazy and transgressive, but it’s a fact. Seriously."

The "Snowpiercer" star said she is "blessed" to have achieved those dreams of hers, adding, "Everything else is a bonus. It changes."^[3]

Swinton, whose been in a romantic relationship with German/New Zealand visual artist Sandro Kopp since 2004, continued, "Having found it, it’s my world."

She said her circle has expanded to several new "family" members, who are all acclaimed filmmakers.

"Now I have a family with Wes Anderson, I have a family with Bong Joon-ho, I have a family with Jim Jarmusch, I have a family with Luca Guadagnino, with Lynne Ramsay, with Joanna Hogg," the Oscar winner disclosed.

Swinton also confessed that her goals in life were anything but launching a successful movie career.

"I’ve never had any ambition as an artist," she exclaimed.

I can categorically say that as Orlando does in the film: Yes, I’m probably a woman."^[3]

"I enjoy walking the tightrope of identity, of sexual identity, of gender identity."^[3]
