I always have loved witches.

I do love that witches haven't really been explored that much. Usually, witches are the little side character... a bad female character that comes in and leaves.

What interests me is why men think of women as witches. It's because they're so fascinating and exasperating, so other.

I am a fan of magic and fantasy, particularly when it's grounded in reality.

I love becoming a character outside of who I am. Even when I was a little girl, I loved make believe, so I like it.

All a writer wants is to be read, and people are so flattering and lovely. I mean, there are witches out there as well. But most are so kind.

Witches are the kind of more traditional, home and family, craft people - so they're the ones who are making things; crocheting shawls and things like that. But then they also have that slightly confident, dangerous, edge. I always see them as having very extreme hair, either amazingly beautiful straight hair or kind of wild.

I believe in magic, psychics and all that.

I think that there is incredible prejudice about witches while there is no prejudice about wizards. Words are very important, and I'm really into destroying myths.
