Quote

I can't do Los Angeles. I've always been the anti-Barbie. I don't want to be in a place where almost every woman walks around with puffy lips, little noses and breasts large enough to nourish a small country.

Do I pray? Yes. Prayer is very important to me.

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.

It's such a measure of your solidarity with Ed, that when you would give lectures, he would be wearing a tartan tie that matched. And I demanded that outfit, I thought it was so punk - her long skirt, she looked like a Scottish queen, so regal.

Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.

There's just a deeper level of sophistication in the writing of female characters on TV.
Vera Farmiga
Image
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.

The more people know about you, the more face-time you get in the media, the harder your job becomes to create a character in whom people suspend disbelief.

I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.

Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.

When you encounter sophistication in the creation of a female character, you thank the writers and you claim it.

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

I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.

I always thought Uncle Vanya could be a stoned masterpiece.

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.

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 can't get my knickers in a twist about my age and ageing in an industry that caters to the ids of 14-year-olds.

Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.
Vera Farmiga
Image
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.

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.

I rely on my directors, a lot. I love being directed.
