I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.

What shocks me is that so many people leave care and become homeless, and when you're homeless you get into crime, prostitution and drugs, and it is a vicious circle. That's what we need to change.
Samantha Morton
Image
To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
Samantha Morton
Image
Youve got all these books on self help, getting to know yourself, doing the right thing, eating the so-called right foods, even down to what books you have on your shelves. People are encouraged to look to themselves first as opposed to being a part of society.

I was physically abused and I retaliated.

I'm an actor. That's what I'm gifted at. It's what makes me breathe.
Samantha Morton
Image
I respond very well to well-written material and women who have had an effect on society, something tragic or monumental has happened to them.

It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from.

I don't get the point in a lot of biopics, they're boring. You know what's gonna happen. You're just watching actors show off.
Samantha Morton
Image
I want to prove that you don't have to come from Oxford University or Rada - and you don't have to have parents that support you - to succeed.
Samantha Morton
Image
I like to stretch my acting muscles.
Samantha Morton
Image
I think there's a very fine line between the type of performing that some actors do, and being in a state in your mind where you actually believe what's going on. If we weren't actors, what would we do with that ability? Would we not be slightly insane? Mentally ill? I don't know.

I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems, if you keep yourself aware of it, you don't really have a day off.

Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.
Samantha Morton
Image
My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.
Samantha Morton
Image
I am proud of what I've done.
Samantha Morton
Image
I wanted to make a film - and I've been wanting to do this for 16 years - about life in care, and bring it to the public's attention, because I had never seen anything, on TV or in the cinema, which said: 'This is how it feels to be a kid in care'.

There are brothels now that are run a certain way, and women make educated choices to become part of the sex industry. Their health is taken care of, and their children can be put through school. But, sadly, there's the underbelly of that, and I think that back then women did hold a lot more power in that regard.
Samantha Morton
Image
I just get really defensive as soon as anyone comes near my personal life. I made a decision early on that it's strictly off-limits. No exceptions.

I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
