Tilda Swinton 'I like my kids'

Tilda Swinton feels “lucky” to like her children.
The We Need To Talk About Kevin star realized not everyone has maternal instincts when she gave birth to her twins Honor and Xavier 13 years ago but was pleased to find she instantly warmed to her kids.
“When they were born I remember very precisely looking at them and feeling I was really into them. I liked them instantly,” she said.
“But at the same time, I was aware it could have gone the other way. I had always assumed that the maternal instinct automatically kicks in, but in that instant I realised I was lucky. It happens more times than people ever admit that people are in this predicament. It’s a nightmare scenario but all too real.”
Tilda enjoys her own company and insists she has never felt lonely, even when growing up as the only girl in a family of four children.
“I was by myself a fair bit, and happy being by myself. I like being solitary so therefore I like being quiet because I’m not in the habit of talking to myself,” she said.
