Hello, people watching this.

I'm Tilda Swinton and I'm in London today

shooting with GQ.

Okay, two questions about my past.

Tell me your name.

Catherine Matilda Swinton.

Where did you grow up?

Tricky one.

Lots of different places but mainly in Scotland.

Who would you nominate as man of the year?

I would say that's a pretty dead tie

between my father

who is 89,

he's gonna be 90 next year.

And my sweetheart Sandro who is pretty awesome in every way.

What about the woman of the year?

I would have to say my daughter, Honor

who's sitting over there,

who's 17 tomorrow.

My song of the year.

Of course, Everything is Awesome,

♫ Everything is awesome

From my movie of the year, the Lego Movie.

And you're right.

My TV show of the year.

Well, we don't have a TV so we're always a little behind

the curve on TV shows.

This year I would say Veep.

God bless you, et cetera.

So we're fairly up to date.

If you could sum 2014 up in one word, what would it be?

Nice.

Really nice year.

If you could get a do-over of one moment this year,

what would it be?

Oh.

Oh dear.

Sitting here right now, under the pressure

of the camera whirring and the clock,

I can't think of one thing, which is pretty good.

So that's that.

Thank you.
