More quotes by Samantha Morton
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.
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.
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 was physically abused and I retaliated.
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
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
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
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
Samantha Morton
The more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind.
Samantha Morton
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.
Samantha Morton
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.
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
My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.
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'm an actor. That's what I'm gifted at. It's what makes me breathe.
Samantha Morton
To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
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 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
I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.
