21 'Wicked' Movie Quotes That Will Have You Defying Gravity
"As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly."
Between the magnificent sets, colorful characters, and fun musical numbers, it's no surprise the Wicked movie is so popular! And that's not to mention all the iconic one-liners brought to life by Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba and Ariana Grande's Glinda. If you don't have three hours to spare to rewatch the film adaptation of the musical, read this list of the best Wicked movie quotes that'll make you laugh, cry, and long for part two to come even sooner!
Take this introspective line from the Good Witch herself, for starters: "Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?" If you haven't had the chance to stream the box office hit, Wicked focuses on the backstory of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. As the aforementioned quote suggests, Elphaba's evil reputation may very well be a result of the cards she was dealt.
Of course, there are plenty of lighthearted moments to balance the deeper meaning of the movie like this one from Fiyero: "I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow." And there's no shortage of inspirational quotes to remind you that the impact of Wicked goes beyond its catchy soundtrack. This one from Elphaba is a prime example: "My future is unlimited." Let these quotes be your reminder that yours is, too!
