Normally, I rely heavily on my director to massage me out of my actor comfort zones.
From Vera Farmiga
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
I think maybe I was a shepherdess in a past life.
I'm from the school of, 'if you want more, you have to require more from yourself.'
When I look at female characters, I want to recognize myself in them: my trials, my tribulations as a mother, as a lover, as a daughter.
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.
I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.
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've never felt the breath of God - you can take that statement literally or metaphorically - more than when I was yearning for a personal, intimate connection to something bigger than me.
Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
