'The Witch' is feminist.

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 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.

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.

In the past, men created witches: now they create mental patients.

The number of witches had everywhere become enormous.

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

Imagine: in the medieval ages, there was no evidence of how the history of mankind has been affected by witchcraft. But there is significant factual history of how brutality and sadism of mankind have been displayed in the most obscene manner in the name of witch-hunt.
