Vera Farmiga Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Vera Farmiga:

The limelight is a tricky place, because you can't believe what's going on around you. You stop observing. You stop perceiving. You stop extending yourself, and you become isolated.

Someone once told me that religion is like a knife: You can stab someone with it, or you can slice bread with it.

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

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.

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

The biggest research of all when I do a character is self-examination. You look at yourself and you ask, 'How am I similar to this person and how am I different?'

Vera Farmiga

There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.

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.

My father instilled in me - of utmost importance and innate in me is the yearning to determine for myself - to define God, to define holiness for myself.

I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.

Vera Farmiga

We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self. When it results in mass destruction and hatred and anxiety, it's the antithesis I think of what religion was designed to do.

Vera Farmiga

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.

I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.

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 don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.

Vera Farmiga

I don't necessarily need Hollywood.

Vera Farmiga

My only real advice to Oscar nominees is, 'If you haven't actually seen a competitor's film, don't fib and say you have and blow smoke up their wahooziewhatsits.' Always best to be frank and tell them the truth.
