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.

I chase after inspiring stories.

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

I spent a lot of time reading blogs by mothers who had children with varying degrees of neural dysfunction, from schizophrenia to all sorts of different issues. And honestly, I don't think it's different for anybody. There's no right way to make sure your child will be emotionally and mentally healthier. It's just frustrating.

Image
The depth of exploration of the male psyche and the female psyche is uneven. I see further, deeper renderings of what it means to be a man.
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.
Vera Farmiga
Image
My father instilled in me - of utmost importance and innate in me is the yearning to determine for myself - to define God, to define holiness for myself.
Vera Farmiga
Image
The biggest research of all when I do a character is self-examination. You look at yourself and you ask, 'How am I similar to this person and how am I different?'
Vera Farmiga
Image
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.

I'm a full-time mom. I've never felt as prepared, as before maternity.
Vera Farmiga
Image
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.

I don't necessarily need Hollywood.
Vera Farmiga
Image
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.
