More quotes by Vera Farmiga
I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.
Vera Farmiga
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.
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
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
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.
Vera Farmiga
I've always believed that if you are precise in your thoughts, it's not the lines you say that are important - it's what exists between the lines. What I'm compelled by most is that transparency of thought, what is left unspoken.
Vera Farmiga
There really are three types of religious movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.
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'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.
Vera Farmiga
Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.
Vera Farmiga
You dont necessarily have to be religious to pray.
Vera Farmiga
I always thought Uncle Vanya could be a stoned masterpiece.
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
We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.
Vera Farmiga
There's no wrong way to experience a film.
Vera Farmiga
I've done TV, but never where you're given this much time to live with a character, to study the tone and hone it and repair stuff, to go back and watch old episodes and go, Oh no, that's a misstep. That's a victory. I should do more of that, less of that.
Vera Farmiga
I have a lot of frustration with religion, organized religion, because it's man-made, because it's man-regulated. And it has nothing to do with my relationship with God.
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
The more people know about you, the more face-time you get in the media, the harder your job becomes to create a character in whom people suspend disbelief.
Vera Farmiga
As an actor, you're sort of the court-appointed lawyer for the character.
