IDINA MENZEL, who plays ELPHABA, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the musical ”Wicked,” on whether she is drawn to the good or the bad:

”Nothing is black or white. Even if I said I was drawn to the goodness, her pure goodness is not always done for the reasons that we would think. It wouldn’t be pure goodness if you do something because you want someone to love you. That’s not completely pure. Does that make sense? Oh God, I’m starting not to make sense, actually.”
