More quotes by 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.

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
Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.
Vera Farmiga
I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.
Vera Farmiga
I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.
Vera Farmiga
I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.
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
The depth of exploration of the male psyche and the female psyche is uneven. I see further, deeper renderings of what it means to be a man.
Vera Farmiga
Normally, I rely heavily on my director to massage me out of my actor comfort zones.
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.
