More quotes by 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
But I think for me, why I was drawn to the piece is, at the core of the story, it's a love story to me - between Ed and Lorraine, between these two families who are asking for help and us who are in the business of giving help.
Vera Farmiga
I cannot even imagine college. I'm white-knuckling it just letting my son go to kindergarten for eight hours a day.
Vera Farmiga
No role is more challenging, rewarding and inspiring than my real-life role as a mom and a wife.
Vera Farmiga
I have the best husband a wife could possibly have. He's the best father my children could have.

As an actor, you're sort of the court-appointed lawyer for the character.
Vera Farmiga
I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
Vera Farmiga
I grew up in a Christian home. The strictness comes with religion in general. Whether you grew up Jewish or Orthodox Jewish or Muslim, there are certain rules and regulations. But my parents instilled in me the importance of defining God for yourself.
Vera Farmiga
I'm thinking about anything and everything. I'm making stuff up in my head, I'm using sense memory. Sometimes when it doesn't come and you've got no choice because you're getting paid to do it, you grasp at straws. It's always easy now with my kids. I just create some what-ifs in my head, something horrible that would devastate me as a mother.
Vera Farmiga
Just because I’m telling a story about a woman losing faith is not my rebellion against what I grew up in. If anything, it really affected the way I approached the story, and in fact, approach everything. I don’t judge my characters.
Vera Farmiga
When you're breastfeeding a child, you don't have the same retention as you do when you're not.
Vera Farmiga
There's no wrong way to experience a film.
Vera Farmiga
I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.
Vera Farmiga
My husband is my best friend he knows my sensibilities.
Vera Farmiga
Music is what our feelings sound like.
Vera Farmiga
It's thematic in my career, if you look at most of my choices. It is some level of exploration of maternal angst and maternal heroism.
Vera Farmiga
Chekhov, when it's done well and you're ready for it, can actually be quite funny.
Vera Farmiga
I look for struggle in the roles I choose - struggle and perseverance.
Vera Farmiga
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
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.
