More quotes by Vera Farmiga
When I look at female characters, I want to recognize myself in them - my trials, my tribulations as a mother, as a wife, as a lover, as a daughter.
Vera Farmiga
Do I pray? Yes. Prayer is very important to me.
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.

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'.
Vera Farmiga
Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
Vera Farmiga
I have the best husband a wife could possibly have. He's the best father my children could have.

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.

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
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
Not just as an actress, but on a human-being level, I've experienced frustration on many different levels. [With my] career, it would be more the frustration of not always finding challenging material or inspiring material ... [Acting is] therapeutic for me. I'm pretty accommodating.
Vera Farmiga
I look for struggle in the roles I choose - struggle and perseverance.
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.
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
You ought to have a perspective when you're making a film.
Vera Farmiga
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.
Vera Farmiga
Your soul either feels lifted by something that you read, or it feels squashed by it.
Vera Farmiga
I chase after inspiring stories.
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
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.
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.
