More quotes by 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 do love directing. I'm only comfortable working in the independent film arena for a very small budget where I have creative control and I can put my stamp on it.

When you encounter sophistication in the creation of a female character, you thank the writers and you claim it.
Vera Farmiga
I bet you could look at every single thing I've ever done and reduce it to that parenting schematic.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
Vera Farmiga
The nature of evil, the nature of it, it exists. It exists and I think within us we have the tools. If we have the will, we can combat it. I think the power is within us and it lies in our own conceptualization of God and positivity and compassion and love.
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.
