More quotes by 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.

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
Your soul either feels lifted by something that you read, or it feels squashed by it.

Editing is not a part of the filmmaking process I've ever been privy to as an actress.

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.

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
Yeah, I think it's like any God-given gift. You writers have the gift of perception. If you don't use it, you're going to lose it. And it's the same thing with you [Lorraine], it's God-given.
Vera Farmiga
I think the worst thing that can happen to a good actor is fame.
Vera Farmiga
No role is more challenging, rewarding and inspiring than my real-life role as a mom and a wife.
Vera Farmiga
You dont necessarily have to be religious to pray.
Vera Farmiga
I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
Vera Farmiga
The writers could always do an about-face and change everything
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
When you're breastfeeding a child, you don't have the same retention as you do when you're not.
Vera Farmiga
There's just a deeper level of sophistication in the writing of female characters on TV.
Vera Farmiga
Patrick sort of had a very pragmatic, practical, Ed-like approach and went down to see.
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
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
Partying has never been my thing. I've been around some wild people. I've been in the same room and watched them experiment, and that's been entertaining.
