I know a little more about Kinsey than I know about sex because that is his subject not mine.

Kinsey would identify himself with Galileo in moments of feelings of persecution.

I think it would be fun to write about movies again.

One of the people that became a major source was Clarence Tripp who worked with Kinsey.

While that wasn't first and foremost in my mind, you can't get into this without being struck, on one side, by how far we've come, and then the other side, by how little things have changed.

Kinsey kick started a lot in shocking people with how much homosexual activity there is.

It is interesting to be here and to see that for certain actors they have to live in a way that you think of nobody living anymore except for in small towns. They have such elaborate double lives.

Kinsey was six foot five, and he had this leader of men quality.

I know a little more about Kinsey than I know about sex because that is his subject not mine.

And Kinsey thought that anybody who defined themselves based on their sexual acts was limiting themselves.

First of all, just knowing people who grew up in the movie business at that time, no one had Mexican maids.

I wanted to make connections between Whale's past and present.

Kinsey was trying to study sex scientifically, get rid of the overlay of culture and religion.

I really think the biopic thing so rarely works, because people's lives don't have a dramatic shape that can be satisfying.

Kinsey himself collected absolutely everything.

Because his basic idea that he got from the study of gall wasps is that everyone's sexuality is unique.

In Hollywood through the 50s, there were black, English, and Middle European housekeepers and maids.

We made connections between the monsters created by war and the monsters he created, the typical outcast that Whale was attracted to, and the monster in himself, that's inside all of us.

Problems emerge and some people try to sweep them under the rug.

We knew that there was a certain kind of interest in Whale among a genre crowd.

Our relationships, relationships between adults, how all those pieces fit together - that's the most complicated thing we all face.

I think that finding a way into somebody's life that's sort of off from a side angle can tell you more about that person than a greatest hits approach.

Kinsey thought that Freud in his own way was as dangerous as the Catholic Church.

I'm a horrible public speaker.

Sex is the most beautiful thing that can take place between a happily married man and his secretary.

I think I had a more European outlook about the body and sex. The body is in no way dirty, and sex is something beautiful to give to and share with a lover. It has nothing to do with promiscuity, because I only believe in being in love with one man at a time.

I would rather take the role and work and make my own money and self respect than to have sex with someone who has a lot of money.

Sex and drugs were simply not discussed in our culture at that time.
