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

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.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.
