Kinsey himself collected absolutely everything.

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 do think that's so much a part of what being a director is - in working with actors - to really try and be sensitive to what each actor needs to get to where he wants to be.

When it comes to two of the big social earthquakes in the last fifty years - which are the gay movement and the women's movement - I think there is a direct line from Kinsey to those.

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.

It's an odd thing to go to New York to shoot a movie that is set in Indiana.

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.

Actually, I loved Chucky. It's one of the strangest movies I've ever seen.

But the imposition of morality onto science, - where it does not belong - has become rampant in recent years.

There's no question that Whale's movies are classics. They were wonderful, and successful.

I'm a horrible public speaker.

A scientist is an unlikely character to put at the center of a movie.

With less competition to fear, companies are emboldened to raise their mark-ups and profits. That lifts share prices and thus the wealth of already wealthy shareholders.

'Melancholy' is prettier than 'depression'; it connotes a kind of nocturnal grace. Makes one feel more innocently beleaguered.

We know too much and feel too little. At least we feel too little of those creative emotions from which a good life springs.

America is nation of people striving to make life better for themselves and for their families.

'Empire' was a very traumatic experience for me. It was very schizophrenic, and it wasn't what I expected it to be.

He shines in the second rank, who is eclipsed in the first.

Utah may well be the most cosmopolitan state in America. Vast numbers of young Mormons - increasingly women as well as men - spend a couple of years abroad as missionaries and return jabbering in Thai or Portuguese and bearing a wealth of international experience.

I get paranoid about people staring at me. Even now I don't deal with people looking at me. I can't do it sometimes. I can't go out. I don't know how to react when people stare.

I went to drama school in the U.K., where we did endless Chekov plays.

There are 80 jobs in which women earn more than men - positions like financial analyst, speech-language pathologist, radiation therapist, library worker, biological technician, motion picture projectionist.

Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.

The average music-lover hears only the production under prevailing conditions.

I did a voice for Odo, but people don't recognize you by your voice.

The main thing in measuring integrity is someone's motive and intent, not how many records they sell. Our intent in Ministry was never to be big. We just wanted to make enough money to live and to buy a studio, which we have done in Austin.

All the lessons you learn in film school from the people you hate are always the ones that are important. The lessons you think are great and thankful for never end up meaning anything to you.

Rejection isn't a sign that something is wrong for you it's a sign that they're wrong for you.

It cost me a lot of money to have a vacation, basically. It's nice to step back and see there's more to life.

We're going through a kind of ancient, barbaric war dance now - it's almost an ultimate in absurdity.
