Mistress of Evil Premiere




"There's a part of us that's just unbridled. We just have to be who we are.  We can't be less than what we are, we can't be less honest, less fierce.  And sometimes somebody is not comfortable with that and wants to hurt us, but we have to find ourselves and be free with it and be OK with it."


"The father's a bird.  We have some severe issues going on.  She's trying her best.  I think where she failed is that she doesn't believe in herself.  She doesn't believe that she's a good Mom, she doesn't see herself as a Mom.  But I questioned when I was first a mother if I was good enough.  A lot of good Moms question whether they're good moms."













What is it about love that makes us go nuts?
"The real truest love pulls out your best self. It's what you value, what you're loyal to and what you're willing to fight for. So I think that truest love does that, and I think for Maleficient—it's the surprise that she didn't realize that she had it in her."
"Maleficent is wild. I think there is that thing in all of us that is just not safe and not fine, and wants to just be fun and be our biggest, best self."   
So basically you're made for this role.  Wild and free and unapologetic.
"Well, like the character there have been times in my life where I have felt—and maybe I've hidden them well from the public—where I have not felt free, I have not felt safe, I have not felt like free of harm or I have felt small. I have felt cornered. And it has taken a lot to find that again, probably more of that today than I was in the last four years."
