Madchen Amick quotes about
against best bring constantly executives fighting girlfriend hardest sort
Most executives are male, so it's always sort of their vision of stuff. I'm constantly fighting against that even when I play the wife or the girlfriend or the best friend. I always try my hardest to bring as much layering in and not make things stereotypical, but it's hard.
everybody opens opportunity particular stories
Everybody loves vampire stories, and if there's one show in particular that's done really well, it just opens the door and the opportunity for more of those kind of stories to get through.
amazing changed point
I think the amazing thing about 'Twin Peaks' was that it completely changed television from that point forward.
east keeping tricks
I really like supernatural stories, but, to me, 'Witches of East End' is really grounded. It's not just going for the magic tricks and keeping it superficial and action-y.
michelle nicholson
I really loved 'Witches of Eastwick', the movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson and Cher.
based goes
I know 'Vikings' isn't really based in magic, but it goes back to Old World spirituality and different religions, and a lot of voodoo.
thinking television twins
I think the amazing thing about Twin Peaks was that it completely changed television from that point forward.
opportunity doors vampire
Everybody loves vampire stories, and if theres one show in particular thats done really well, it just opens the door and the opportunity for more of those kind of stories to get through.
character littles sides
I do love that witches havent really been explored that much. Usually, witches are the little side character... a bad female character that comes in and leaves.
magic world vikings
I know Vikings isnt really based in magic, but it goes back to Old World spirituality and different religions, and a lot of voodoo.
witch nicholson
I really loved Witches of Eastwick, the movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson and Cher.
creative mind firsts
My first introduction to television, and really just the business in general, was working with David Lynch, with his incredibly open, creative mind that was not following any rules.
ideas empowering ironic
I just love the idea of witches, in general. The whole concept of witches was to keep down the feminine rise in power that was happening, at the time. They created this concept of witches, so that they could burn women at the stake and keep them in their place, and now we've turned it around to empower women. That's very ironic. If they only knew that they created a weapon for us to use against them.
believe honest shows
To be honest, I know there are shows that have a lot of women and they say, 'Oh, we love each other!' but I don't know if I totally believe it.
