Vera Farmiga
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.

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
Honestly, I think a good film is spiritual, regardless of whether its subject is faith.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.

I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
Vera Farmiga
I think I always try to be accommodating and open and available and proving for my director. I love to give as many takes as they want. I love to give them as many choices as they want.
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
There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.
