I look for struggle in the roles I choose - struggle and perseverance.
Vera Farmiga

Vera Farmiga
No role is more challenging, rewarding and inspiring than my real-life role as a mom and a wife.
Vera Farmiga
I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.
Vera Farmiga
There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.
Vera Farmiga
When I look at female characters, I want to recognize myself in them - my trials, my tribulations as a mother, as a wife, as a lover, as a daughter.
Vera Farmiga
Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.
Vera Farmiga
I love Saturday nights with my best friend and a big bowl of pasta, wanting a good scare, something that will say, 'Listen, your life is not as bad as this. Your life can be so much worse'.
