Faith is important to me.
Vera Farmiga
Image
It's a delicate thing for me, with how involved I am in social media and being a part of people's lives in a way that they want me to.

Image
Yeah, I think it's like any God-given gift. You writers have the gift of perception. If you don't use it, you're going to lose it. And it's the same thing with you [Lorraine], it's God-given.

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.

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.

When you're breastfeeding a child, you don't have the same retention as you do when you're not.

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.

I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.

My husband is my best friend he knows my sensibilities.

I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.
Vera Farmiga
Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
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.

Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.

I was very studious and square in college.

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.

Image
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.

Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.
Vera Farmiga
Image
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.

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.
