You ever read or watch The Wizard Of Oz? It's a lie. Most of it.

Six words. The Wicked Witch Of The West.

Any questions?

Yes, I really was born this way. No, I don't know why, or even how. It just happened.

No. It doesn't bother me. It's all I've ever known. I'd rather be green than armless like my sister (yes a house really did fall on her, she really did die, and I really did want those bloody shoes). Or "popular" like Galinda (Who, despite her public profile, was not any sort of 'good witch'. She wasn't a witch at all. She just carried that blasted wand around with her).

Don't ask me what it means to be "wicked". I don't know. Am I "wicked"? I don't know that either. I'm just a woman. With feelings. Yes. I was in love once. Don't ask about that either. It's not something I want to talk about.

Yes, I really can fly. On my broom. No, you can't ride it with me.

Exploitation is the real wickedness.
