More quotes by Vera Farmiga
Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.
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.
Vera Farmiga
The limelight is a tricky place, because you can't believe what's going on around you. You stop observing. You stop perceiving. You stop extending yourself, and you become isolated.
Vera Farmiga
I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.
Vera Farmiga
It's terrifying to be the lead. There's a moment of excitement, and then pure terror.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.
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.

I think the worst thing that can happen to a good actor is fame.
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
I love Saturday nights with my best friend and a big bowl of pasta, wanting a good scare, something that will say, 'Listen, your life is not as bad as this. Your life can be so much worse'.
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 don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
Vera Farmiga
We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.
Vera Farmiga
I love to be surprised.
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 cannot even imagine college. I'm white-knuckling it just letting my son go to kindergarten for eight hours a day.
Vera Farmiga
Partying has never been my thing. I've been around some wild people. I've been in the same room and watched them experiment, and that's been entertaining.
Vera Farmiga
I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.
Vera Farmiga
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
