More quotes by Samantha Morton
Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.
Samantha Morton
The more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind.
Samantha Morton
I like to stretch my acting muscles.
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 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 was physically abused and I retaliated.
Samantha Morton
I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.
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 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 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'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 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'.
Samantha Morton
I'm an actor. That's what I'm gifted at. It's what makes me breathe.
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 am proud of what I've done.
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
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 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 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
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
