What twelve year old wouldn't want to play an evil wizard?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
The kid who can play imaginatively doesn't tend to be violent. It's the same with adults.
The thing about a violent kid is that he can't play imaginatively.
There is another thing about a kid, if we all remember, that you have an attraction to evil. Evil is exciting and evil is interesting, and plenty of kids have a fascination for it.
I did the 'Wizard of Oz' in third grade, and I was a witch.
I want to play a Disney villainess so badly.
While early childhood experiences may impel, they do not compel. In the end, evil is a matter of choice.
Years later, nothing makes me more grateful as a parent than my daughters' encounters with classroom wizards.
I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this crazy world right now.
Well, put it like this, if you're not a kid, you're a wizard.
