Vera Farmiga Takes the Cover of the Village Voice

The Village Voice’s Michael Musto talks to Ms. Farmiga — head on over there to read the full interview (which contains a spoiler or two – but really, get over the spoilers already):

Me: Flash-forward to the Oscars: Did you want to kill Mo’Nique?

Farmiga: I only wanted to kill Mo’Nique for not introducing herself to me or not finding the opportunity. We were in the same room many times. I respected her so much for the performance. I was rooting for her. It’s weird that you can spend so much time together on the run and not even meet each other. One of her mottoes was something I applied to Higher Ground. She said at the Golden Globes, “Just be it. Don’t judge it. And leave it on the floor.”

Me: That sounds very Rocky Horror Show.

Farmiga: Which I think Higher Ground has a potential to become! [She laughs and starts crooning a hymn as if it were a sing-along.]

Me: You’re also starring in the movie of A View From the Bridge?

Farmiga: That project fell apart. It’s the climate.

Me: And at one point, you were going to be in the Madonna-directed W.E.?

Farmiga: Yes. Madonna and I had met several times. We wanted to embark on that working relationship, and then I got knocked up! My expanding waistline was not gonna cut it. But it was nice to shoot the shit with Madonna.
