As an actor, you're sort of the court-appointed lawyer of the character. And that's what used to draw me to scripts -- something in a woman that I wanted to defend, something that I recognized or wanted to understand, something that turned my head. Now that I'm a mother, I think it's more the message of a film, or the questions that they pose about life -- that's the magnifying glass through which I look at them now. But at first it was all about the character..
~ Vera Farmiga Quote

There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession.
~ Vera Farmiga Quote

I really don't feel a need to be famous, but I do feel a need to make a difference, to shed light on human emotion through acting. It sounds strange, but I don't recognize myself in the women in most films. And I should be up there somewhere. We all should.
~ Vera Farmiga Quote

I'm not in this for the achievement. I'm in it for the illumination. That's how I choose my roles, that's how I attract roles -- it's a very spiritual process for me. And it's the only way I can continue, and stay interested. The acting ... it's really a vocation.

I've always been lucky in that none of the TV shows were popular. I've never gone beyond 13 episodes. I did TV because independent films pay very little and I needed to live. But I've never wanted to be locked into a series, even when the part was interesting. I became an actor to play all sorts of different roles in films. I left my agents because they were focusing on television.
