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.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

There is no other who experiences your thoughts or your feelings.

I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.

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

As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradictory feelings, the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.

As an alcoholic, you have no appreciation for your wife or your children's feelings, but I'm making up for that now. I'm winning my children's trust back.

A lot of the stuff that I do with Betty is in the eyes. A lot of the feelings that I evoke with her are unspoken, so that's been fun to play with.

Isn't it strange that its easier to be gentle with the feelings of people we care less about than those of our children, whom we love so much?

I love the line of Flaubert about observing things very intensely. I think our duty as writers begins not with our own feelings, but with the powers of observing.

A date once leaned in to kiss me, and he ended up kissing my cheek. He was a little offended, but I didn't want to kiss him just to not hurt his feelings.

Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?

A poem might be defined as thinking about feelings - about human feelings and frailties.

Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts.

We have listened here to the delegates who have recalled the terrible human suffering, and the great material destruction of the late war in the Pacific. It is with feelings of sorrow that we recall the part played in that catastrophic human experience by the old Japan.

In a novel, my feelings and sense of outrage can find a broader means of expression which would be more symbolic and applicable to many European countries.

Everything I do is blown out of proportion. It really hurts my feelings.

The story line was done in a way that's organic and was doled out very slowly in little bites. We think that's authentic for this character, that her feelings are very deeply buried or she never felt them.

I'd much rather be in a movie that people have really strong feelings about than one that makes a hundred million dollars but you can't remember because it's just like all the others.
