More quotes by Vera Farmiga
I just want to make sure that the thing that I see in it initially, that I think it can be, is not just going to be a horror film and reduced to a jump here and a scream there. But that you can take something away from it.
Vera Farmiga
You ought to have a perspective when you're making a film.

I was a Ukrainian folk dancer in my teens, and I toured the country in 1991, shortly before the break-up of the Soviet Union.
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
I’m someone who can sit in a Buddhist temple, and I can sit with Pentecostals or with Orthodox Jews, and I still feel like I am in tune with all of them.
Vera Farmiga
I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.
Vera Farmiga
Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.

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.

I love Saturday nights with my best friend and a big bowl of pasta, wanting a good scare, something that will say, 'Listen, your life is not as bad as this. Your life can be so much worse'.

I'm hooked on Polanski's films, his psychological thrillers. I love 'Rosemary's Baby,' I love 'Repulsion.'
Vera Farmiga
I do love directing. I'm only comfortable working in the independent film arena for a very small budget where I have creative control and I can put my stamp on it.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
We take a lot for granted as second wave feminists, what our mothers and aunts did for us.
Vera Farmiga
Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
Vera Farmiga
I love to be surprised.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
I didn't grow up watching film but as a Ukrainian-American, music and stories and dance are crucial.
Vera Farmiga
You know what's more difficult to do organically? Laughing. It's actually one of the hardest things to do on camera.
Vera Farmiga
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.
