More quotes by Vera Farmiga
We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.
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
The writers could always do an about-face and change everything
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.
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.
Vera Farmiga
You ought to have a perspective when you're making a film.
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
Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.
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 always thought Uncle Vanya could be a stoned masterpiece.
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 just wanted to make sure that yes, that those horror - they worked as a genre. To me, I just wanted to be touched by the film in the way that I saw plausible. Which is the story about compassion - giving and receiving it in those desperate times of need.
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
Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.
Vera Farmiga
The experience of giving birth itself made me feel more womanly.
Vera Farmiga
I'm hooked on Polanski's films, his psychological thrillers. I love 'Rosemary's Baby,' I love 'Repulsion.'
Vera Farmiga
I cannot even imagine college. I'm white-knuckling it just letting my son go to kindergarten for eight hours a day.
