More quotes by Vera Farmiga
I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.
Vera Farmiga
You earn very little money on independent films and I'm the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.
Vera Farmiga
I cherish each director that I have. I want to be maneuvered out of my comfort zones. I don't have the time to prepare.
Vera Farmiga
I just want to make sure that the thing that I see in it initially, that I think it can be, is not just going to be a horror film and reduced to a jump here and a scream there. But that you can take something away from it.
Vera Farmiga
I have a lot of frustration with religion, organized religion, because it's man-made, because it's man-regulated. And it has nothing to do with my relationship with God.
Vera Farmiga
Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.
Vera Farmiga
Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.
Vera Farmiga
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
Vera Farmiga
We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.
Vera Farmiga
It's a delicate thing for me, with how involved I am in social media and being a part of people's lives in a way that they want me to.
Vera Farmiga
You dont necessarily have to be religious to pray.
Vera Farmiga
I spent a lot of time reading blogs by mothers who had children with varying degrees of neural dysfunction, from schizophrenia to all sorts of different issues. And honestly, I don't think it's different for anybody. There's no right way to make sure your child will be emotionally and mentally healthier. It's just frustrating.
Vera Farmiga
I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
Vera Farmiga
I'm incredibly spiritual. There are like tens of thousands of denominations I don't fit in any one of those denominations comfortably. But I have a very personal relationship with God.
Vera Farmiga
I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
Vera Farmiga
Your soul either feels lifted by something that you read, or it feels squashed by it.
Vera Farmiga
There's just a deeper level of sophistication in the writing of female characters on TV.
Vera Farmiga
It's a very different thing, religion and faith. Religion is man-made, it's man-regulated. And faith, you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.
Vera Farmiga
When you encounter sophistication in the creation of a female character, you thank the writers and you claim it.
Vera Farmiga
I don't necessarily need Hollywood.
