I hate the analyzing thing. People say, 'Why do you think your character did that? I don't know. I'm not an analyst, and they're not in psychotherapy. Unless it's a film where they're in therapy.

More quotes by Samantha Morton
I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry, but film writing, brilliant film writing, is a talent - you can't just do it like that.
Samantha Morton
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.
Samantha Morton
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.
Samantha Morton
When you've been raised in care, rap music isn't just about guns and sexism. They're talking about real things you can hang on to, problems of identity that you have sympathy with. It's not just about the music, with rap: when I was in care, it meant a whole lot more than that.
Samantha Morton
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
I was physically abused and I retaliated.
Samantha Morton
I'm an actor. That's what I'm gifted at. It's what makes me breathe.
Samantha Morton
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.
Samantha Morton
I've been acting since I was a child, and though this was different in a way, I think I've been very blessed. The majority of the sets I've been on have been very inclusive and very empowering, and I've often chosen to work with people that sing from the same song sheet.
Samantha Morton
I have worked very hard on being aware of my childhood but moving forward and not letting it bring me down emotionally. That is a hard thing - especially when you have children of your own and you remember what happened to you at that age.
Samantha Morton
My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.
Samantha Morton
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
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
I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.
Samantha Morton
To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
Samantha Morton
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
Samantha Morton
I like to stretch my acting muscles.
Samantha Morton
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.
Samantha Morton
I am proud of what I've done.
Samantha Morton
Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.
