Probably one of the favorite lines I have in Sabrina so far was,
'Girls girls let's not be catty b*****!'
Quite like that one, and I use it often in my real life too.
Well I would use it now in this situation, I would hope that you know you wouldn't be a catty b*****
No, just cut, cut.
I would say that the similar characteristics between Madame Satan and myself would be we both walk
around in the same body...
What a body!
People tell me that I have a bit of a twinkle in my eye
and I guess Madame Satan does too and I enjoy the fun of life and I think
that you know there's so much angst and stress out there in the world and so
I try to focus on just bringing some humor to my day and not taking myself or
it too seriously and I think Madame Satan would probably celebrate that and
support that.
Playing Satan's wife is an interesting one. It feels great and powerful and
empowering and fun and manipulative and sexy but also there's some
fear in there and there's some
surprising vulnerability as well
that comes with being Satan's wife; he's a pretty hard taskmaster.
There is such a depth to Madame Satan and why she's there and what her motivations are
that go beyond her just you know having to do what the Dark Lord tells her to do
and I think that's where there's a really interest in gear change and that
you're about to see possibly, where Madame Satan starts to realize that maybe
she's actually the one that's trapped and maybe she's the one that needs to be
somehow released into a world that's actually bigger and freer than the one
that she's in, I think she starts to realize that.
There are some similar elements to the original of course.
Her name is Sabrina, she's half witch, half mortal but that's probably where it stops in terms of the
comparison to that show because this one is far darker; it's a reimagining of
it I guess and it's a sort of mixture of Rosemary's Baby mixed to the Exorcist with fabulous clothes.
Clearly I was born to play witches and b****** until the day I die...or you die.
When I was playing the Master in Doctor Who and that was a comfortable
fit because Steven Moffat was writing to my strengths so when that finished I
thought that was it like that you know I always think I'm never gonna work
again and that was my last job and I was never gonna get a job that was gonna be
as good as that one.
But then Madame Satan comes into view and
I saw I've been afforded another powerful, amazing, flawed, wonderful and
fun character to play that just so happens to be once again the baddie so
maybe I'm cornering the market in that realm, I don't know but I'm having a
blast doing it.
We're all sick of labels; it feels like we've been saturated with labels for
generations for years and and the show just kind of takes them away, it just
kind of dissolves them so that we're embracing
who you are no matter who you are right?
And Sabrina really stands up for a young woman that's coming to the
end of the innocence of her childhood and then navigating into some difficult
adult decisions and that's a difficult transition to make, going
from childhood into early adulthood and then into you know as a mature woman and
so I think she's going to help take the hand of a lot of girls to make that journey.
