More quotes by Vera Farmiga
It's a very different thing, religion and faith. Religion is man-made, it's man-regulated. And faith, you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.
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
Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.
Vera Farmiga
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
Vera Farmiga
When you're breastfeeding a child, you don't have the same retention as you do when you're not.
Vera Farmiga
Honesty is not synonymous with truth.

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.

Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
Just because I’m telling a story about a woman losing faith is not my rebellion against what I grew up in. If anything, it really affected the way I approached the story, and in fact, approach everything. I don’t judge my characters.
Vera Farmiga
Music is what our feelings sound like.
Vera Farmiga
Do I observe holy days and holidays? Yeah, the ritual is very important to me. It's part of being Ukrainian Catholic. So every holy day we're baking pierogis and not eating meat.
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 always thought Uncle Vanya could be a stoned masterpiece.
Vera Farmiga
I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
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
I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.
Vera Farmiga
Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.
