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.
From Samantha Morton
My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.
I'm an actor. That's what I'm gifted at. It's what makes me breathe.
What shocks me is that so many people leave care and become homeless, and when you're homeless you get into crime, prostitution and drugs, and it is a vicious circle. That's what we need to change.
I was physically abused and I retaliated.
I am proud of what I've done.
I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.
Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.
I believe it is my duty as a performer to raise issues in the world of things we're afraid to look at.
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.
