More quotes by 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.

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 grew up in a Christian home. The strictness comes with religion in general. Whether you grew up Jewish or Orthodox Jewish or Muslim, there are certain rules and regulations. But my parents instilled in me the importance of defining God for yourself.

Esquire's all about mommy issues now. Breastfeeding, vaccinations, playdate etiquette.
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
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.
Vera Farmiga
I don't necessarily need Hollywood.

You dont have to be gay to be attracted to your friend.

Honesty is not synonymous with truth.

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

Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It's just moving scenery. It's kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It's the way you keep your grass mowed. It's the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum.
Vera Farmiga
There's no wrong way to experience a film.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
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.
