I don’t have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place. Vera Farmiga Read Quote
Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It’s just moving scenery. It’s kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It’s the way you keep your grass mowed. It’s the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum. Vera Farmiga Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I think I always try to be accommodating and open and available and proving for my director. I love to give as many takes as they want. I love to give them as many choices as they want. Vera Farmiga Read Quote
Working with children is a whole other ball game. They’re like little animals. You have to keep the camera turned on them all the time. Sometimes it takes a 41-minute take to get one sentence out in a believable way. Vera Farmiga Read Quote
I hate being manipulated by song. Don’t tell me what I should be feeling. I don’t want cellos or violins to be telling me that I should be bawling right now. Vera Farmiga Read Quote
I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it’s too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system. Vera Farmiga Read Quote
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 Read Quote
Offers come all the time, but I’m pretty particular. I really have to be wowed by a character I encounter in a script, or a storyline. I really do need to feel inspiration, otherwise I’m just happy planting perennials and making goat cheese. Vera Farmiga Read Quote
