Madchen Amick Quotations

I think the amazing thing about 'Twin Peaks' was that it completely changed television from that point forward.

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 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.

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.

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.

I really loved 'Witches of Eastwick', the movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson and Cher.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was a huge 'Bewitched' fan growing up.

My dad always told me: 'Stop and look back and appreciate what you've done; stop and smell the flowers.'
