Taissa Farmiga's quotes

  • [on playing the strong-willed, feisty Violet in American Horror Story (2011)] The horror aspect, the scary parts, are easy for me. I mean I can get into that pretty easy, because I get scared. You have to invest yourself in these characters.
  • I was hoping, actually, that being on the other side of the camera in a scary movie, see how it's filmed and maybe you won't be as scared next time you watch one... didn't really work out! Because I know it's fake, but I just get so into it.
  • I get scared easily, so I'm not one for just sitting down with a bowl of popcorn and watching horror stories. But, I mean, I'm learning more. Maybe one day I'd like to be able to watch them.
  • American Horror Story (2011) is dark, so you shouldn't be expecting too much happiness.
  • I can't say that I fully relate to things that I play. Sometimes it's nice to spend half the day crying, then you don't have to do it in real life.
  • [on The Bling Ring (2013)] I just hope that it comes as a warning. Just for kids to see how bad things can get with social media and celebrity obsession, that you can't take things this far. Admiration is great, but there is a line not to cross.
  • It's always a little awkward on your first day on set when you have a making-out scene. You just have to let yourself go.
  • When I was younger, I didn't have any aspirations to be an actress. A door was opened for me -- my older sister directed her first film and put me in it. I was intrigued by it. I enjoyed it. I liked trying to understand other people's emotions.
  • [on working with Jessica Lange] I was like, "I'm going to keep my head down and be a good girl." If you have someone that amazing in front of you, you just have to take what you can from it, but without being in the way, just observing.
  • I think that, before you walk out the door and into the world, you have to feel good. You have to figure out who you are, and I think fashion can help you do that. When you have more of a sense of who you are, you can take on the world.
  • When I was seven, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but I guess every kid wants to be a veterinarian.
  • [on working between television and film] It's nice to have a steady job for a few months, be able to go shoot some indie movies that you really, really love, and say no to some things that you don't. To be able to have the freedom to do that is nice.
  • Vera would photograph me and our other siblings, and she said when she saw me on camera she saw something in me. I agreed because she's my big sister and I didn't want to get beat up.
