I've done TV, but never where you're given this much time to live with a character, to study the tone and hone it and repair stuff, to go back and watch old episodes and go, Oh no, that's a misstep. That's a victory. I should do more of that, less of that.
Vera Farmiga
Image
I feel my fuller-bodied characters are all in the independent films I do, and in the studio productions, I have to work harder to dimensionalize the characters. And that's certainly part of the job description of an actor - that's what you're supposed to do - but you have to work harder at it in the characters that I've encountered in studio films.

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.

Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.

My personality is just innately even-keeled. I'm not such a huge daredevil. Which is not to say I'm not a passionate woman. I don't know, maybe it's my physiological makeup, but I don't like the feeling of anything in my system, other than a glass of wine now and then.

I cannot even imagine college. I'm white-knuckling it just letting my son go to kindergarten for eight hours a day.
Vera Farmiga
Image
We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self. When it results in mass destruction and hatred and anxiety, it's the antithesis I think of what religion was designed to do.
Vera Farmiga
Image
I think all religions can agree on certain definitions of God and concepts of God, like God being the god of love, the great 'I am' energy.

There's no wrong way to experience a film.

Image
I've always believed that if you are precise in your thoughts, it's not the lines you say that are important - it's what exists between the lines. What I'm compelled by most is that transparency of thought, what is left unspoken.

There's just a deeper level of sophistication in the writing of female characters on TV.
Vera Farmiga
Image
The depth of exploration of the male psyche and the female psyche is uneven. I see further, deeper renderings of what it means to be a man.

Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It's just moving scenery. It's kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It's the way you keep your grass mowed. It's the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum.

No role is more challenging, rewarding and inspiring than my real-life role as a mom and a wife.

Image
There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.

I was a Ukrainian folk dancer in my teens, and I toured the country in 1991, shortly before the break-up of the Soviet Union.
