Samantha Morton Filmography

• "I don't tend to think too much about what I'm doing, if my emotional truth is there."
• "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."
• "I don't analyse people at all, I hate all that. People are people and you either get on with them or you don't."
• “I'd just like to keep working, really. It's a funny job. And it could all be over tomorrow. People could decide tomorrow that they don't want to put me on the screen any more. You know, you don't have that choice.”
• "My foster mother died and I did not have a relationship with my real parents. I know who they are. It's not upsetting; it's just the way it is. You cannot change things. My childhood isn't like an albatros around my neck."
• "With publicity, you have to retain a level of privacy. For me, work and my life shouldn't be one and the same."
• "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."
• On Woody Allen: "Woody Allen makes Woody Allen comedies and they are all about him."
• On Steve Spielberg: "Steven Speilberg likes to tell someone else's story and it is not only about him. Fine direction such as Speilberg's is rare. You have to be very confident to direct actors. Too many directors merely know where to point the camera."
• "In films, it's just that one minute you're strong, then you're told you're difficult. The minute you say, 'No, I won't take my top off' or 'No, I won't work overtime', you're bloody difficult."
