~ Samantha Morton Quote
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 Quote
People need to know that you're versatile, otherwise you don't get the opportunities.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
I don't tend to think too much about what I'm doing, if my emotional truth is there.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
I also have an imagination. I'm quite lucky to have a great one in that sense. What I tend to do with each role I'm not a method actor by any means but I really submerge myself in the emotional aspect of the role.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
My job is the same, whether they've got a hundred million or half a million. I go in and I play that character to the best of my ability.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
No matter what happens to you in your life, no matter what your circumstances are now or whenever, your soul fundamentally stays the same. I believe you make who you are before you get here, basically.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
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 Quote
You gotta do stuff that inspires you, otherwise your life's so boring, and you go home and feel a fraud. With scripts that come through the door, as a woman, you go, "Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks." As a kid, seeing [Ken Loach's] Kes and then Ladybird, Ladybird changed my life. That sounds wanky, but if you're going to be an actress, to me, I want to be part of a team of people that I don't only respect but I feel are trying to make a difference. If we can just change one person's point-of-view.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
I've got a lot of stairs in my house! I'm on the sixth floor. I should be fit and have a really nice ass, but I don't.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
With publicity, you have to retain a level of privacy. For me, work and my life shouldn't be one and the same.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
Acting and music are self indulgent professions and they are a luxury unless you love what you do. I have a love/hate relationship with what I do. I think, 'Where's the relevance of this? I'm not a doctor, I'm not an aid worker.' But then I think you only have one life and I am a vessel for stories to be told.
~ Samantha Morton Quote
I don't mind working 15-hour days; I mind the drivers working 19-hour days. There's no unions anymore; Equity doesn't stand for f*** all. We're owned by these people. You feel lucky being an actress, because you get a really good pay-packet. But when you realise it's exploiting other people. It's a domino effect. I'll get into trouble for that. I always get into trouble!
~ Samantha Morton Quote
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.
