Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.
Samantha Morton
Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.
Samantha Morton
For anyone who's been in care, successfully coming through the system is nothing to with money or success; it's the ability to feel love and be loved in return.
Samantha Morton
I am proud of what I've done.
Samantha Morton
I believe it is my duty as a performer to raise issues in the world of things we're afraid to look at.
Samantha Morton
I can't act without music very well.
Samantha Morton
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
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 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 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 think once you're a mother to one, you're a mother to them all.

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 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 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 was physically abused and I retaliated.
