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

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.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

How strange it is that murder has the sanction of law in one and only one of the human relationships, and that is the most important of all, that of nation to nation.

I've had a couple of long relationships. And I've had a couple of shorter relationships.

I'm very excited to see where the characters and their relationships go. But in the end, it really boils down to the people who have more power than me, who control the money.

I'll miss the relationships I have built with these actors. I'll miss the devotion we have to this work. Over this length of time, the tendency is to think it will never end.

You can have all sorts of relationships, but there's something with musicians working together where you can have relationship that can just continue to grow in a beautiful way.

It's so hard to have relationships when there is so much scrutiny.

I think I am too interested in my own ideas to copy anyone else's, but I find that other people's imagery, the flow of language in the outside world, games with words, and ideas about relationships are all most important to me.

You have to stick out the toughness of the business and form relationships with the people in it.

When the Negro cries with pain from his deep hurt and lays his petition for elemental justice before the nation, he is calling upon the American people to kindle about that crucible of race relationships the fires of American faith.

Higher education must lead the march back to the fundamentals of human relationships, to the old discovery that is ever new, that man does not live by bread alone.

The whole thing about making films in an organic film on location is that it's not all about characters, relationships and themes, it's also about place and the poetry of place. It's about the spirit of what you find, the accidents of what you stumble across.

Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships.

Call it holistic or holographic thinking, it's been quite effective imagining the world's problems are all right in front of you on a smaller scale with your band. You deal with those relationships, and that's where real major change begins.

You know, I think I still have a sense that no matter what you do, no matter what you achieve, no matter how much success you have, no matter how much money you have, relationships are important.

Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.

And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.

This radical transformation of world power relationships reflects primarily in the case of both the USA and the USSR the growth of the productive forces.
