People often ask me, was it hard to play this person or that person? Well, no, not really. Acting is what I do. It's my job.

It's important to have masculine energy around your child.

Samantha Morton 56 quotes

I will check the internet for...

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.

I don't get the point in a lo...

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.

I've been in front of a camera since I was a little girl, and that's the medium I understand.

I was angry but not at God. I...

I was angry but not at God. I feel that you are closer to God when you are messed up. Definitely. That's when you most need God, and God cannot control what man does.

I think there's a very fine l...

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 have worked very hard on be...

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.

On paper, it looks rough, but I had a great childhood.

Samantha Morton 56 quotes

I want to prove that you don'...

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 56 quotes

You've got all these books on...

You've 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 56 quotes

When you've been raised in ca...

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.

We're all living blinkered li...

We're all living blinkered lives, and we're not seeing what's going on and looking to change it. I'm not saying that everyone has to make a political statement, but we need to be more aware of what's happening and why.

Samantha Morton 56 quotes

Everyone wants to look their ...

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

Samantha Morton 56 quotes

I think anybody who has been ...

I think anybody who has been abused as a kid - and I was abused as a kid, by various people - will say it's irrational because violence is irrational.

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 56 quotes

My family don't watch a lot of what I do. Films are a bit too arty-farty for them, certainly the ones I do!

Samantha Morton 56 quotes

Most of my life, I've been on...

Most of my life, I've been on a film set. There isn't anything to learn, not learn, unlearn. It's just in me.

Samantha Morton 56 quotes

It's like I understand images and some people understand poetry.

Samantha Morton 56 quotes

I wanted to make a film - and...

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'.
