If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.
Charmed' is obviously so iconic, and to be part of an extension of that is like beyond thrilling.
I really don't believe in magic.
Magic is a state of mind. It is often portrayed as very black and gothic, and that is because certain practitioners played that up for a sense of power and prestige. That is a disservice. Magic is very colorful. Of this, I am sure.
Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.
I don't know that I have a fascination with witches per se - well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that's weird.
Witches were really scary to me as a kid.
It's a fine line between magic and science. In medieval times, science was magic.
Wizarding is technical to me. When you get something that adds up to more than the sum of its parts, that feeling is magic to me. That's a kind of alchemy.
I was always interested in enchantment and magicians and still am.
In the past, people generally believed they could acquire magic in two ways: through learning the craft, either from another practitioner or from books; or through obtaining magic from a powerful being-think Faust or the classic, demonized witch, both of whom get their mojo from Satan.
There's a special gut-check moment the first time you write a scene in which somebody casts a spell.
I'm a witch, I'm up all night, this is no joke.
When I was playing Gandalf, I didn't think, 'Oh my dear, I'm playing a 7,000 year old wizard,' because I've never met one, and I don't know what they're like.
As we Wizards go, I'm pretty harmless.
The Witch' was intended to be a horror movie.
I had heard stories about witches flying on a broom as a kid and I would always think, wow, they had their own private jet.
In Witchcraft, each of us must reveal our own truth.
Magic has been around forever, and it's also been in trouble forever. I'm not suggesting that there was ever a time when the practice of magic was celebrated by those in power. Actually, such practices were routinely demonized by monarchs and organized religions precisely because magic is inherently democratic.
'Dead Witch Walking' is basically a modern-day witch living in Cincinnati.
Magic's quite a solitary pursuit - a thing you can do for hours and hours, getting better and better.
Magic is the mysteries into which not everyone is so lucky, or unlucky, as to be initiated. It can be affected by belief, the whims of the unseen, harsh language. And it is not. Supposed. To make. Sense. In fact, I think it's coolest when it doesn't.
Witch, do this for me, Find me a moon made of longing. Then cut it sliver thin, and having cut it, hang it high above my beloved's house, so that she may look up tonight and see it, and seeing it, sigh for me as I sigh for her, moon or no moon.
It makes sense that a witch lives in a swamp.
Anything that has a dragon, a wand, pixie dust, fairies, magic, any of that, I love it. I'm obsessed with it, I will read it, I will watch it, I will commit it to memory.
