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.

More quotes by Vera Farmiga
You dont necessarily have to be religious to pray.
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
I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.
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
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
Patrick sort of had a very pragmatic, practical, Ed-like approach and went down to see.
Vera Farmiga
Whether youre making a million dollar film or a $100 million film there is never enough money, theres never enough time.
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
I have the best husband a wife could possibly have. He's the best father my children could have.
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
Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.
Vera Farmiga
The nature of evil, the nature of it, it exists. It exists and I think within us we have the tools. If we have the will, we can combat it. I think the power is within us and it lies in our own conceptualization of God and positivity and compassion and love.
Vera Farmiga
I'm hooked on Polanski's films, his psychological thrillers. I love 'Rosemary's Baby,' I love 'Repulsion.'
Vera Farmiga
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
The fears and anxieties and obsessions wrapped up in being a parent.
Vera Farmiga
I cherish each director that I have. I want to be maneuvered out of my comfort zones. I don't have the time to prepare.
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
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.
Vera Farmiga
Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.
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.
