Zitat des Tages von Bill Condon:
It's an odd thing to go to New York to shoot a movie that is set in Indiana.
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.
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.
I'm a horrible public speaker.
There were moments on the set when the depth of the cast of 'Dreamgirls' was almost overwhelming to me.
And Kinsey thought that anybody who defined themselves based on their sexual acts was limiting themselves.
No, 'F/X 2' was a job. I enjoyed doing it but that was definitely a job. I wrote that, I didn't direct it but 'Candyman' and the earlier horror movies I made, I was completely into horror and suspense and always have been. It's informed everything I've done, even the way scenes are shot in 'Kinsey and 'Gods and Monsters.'
Kinsey would identify himself with Galileo in moments of feelings of persecution.
One of the people that became a major source was Clarence Tripp who worked with Kinsey.
I really think the biopic thing so rarely works, because people's lives don't have a dramatic shape that can be satisfying.
I think it would be fun to write about movies again.
A scientist is an unlikely character to put at the center of a movie.
Our relationships, relationships between adults, how all those pieces fit together - that's the most complicated thing we all face.
I know a little more about Kinsey than I know about sex because that is his subject not mine.
There's no question that Whale's movies are classics. They were wonderful, and successful.
Actually, I loved Chucky. It's one of the strangest movies I've ever seen.
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.
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.
Kinsey was trying to study sex scientifically, get rid of the overlay of culture and religion.
Because his basic idea that he got from the study of gall wasps is that everyone's sexuality is unique.
Kinsey himself collected absolutely everything.
Like many of you, I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series 'Dark Shadows,' which I followed avidly as a kid.
Kinsey was six foot five, and he had this leader of men quality.
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.
We knew that there was a certain kind of interest in Whale among a genre crowd.
Problems emerge and some people try to sweep them under the rug.
I wanted to make connections between Whale's past and present.
Kinsey kick started a lot in shocking people with how much homosexual activity there is.
I don't think 'Twilight' should be approached like 'Batman.' Because it is an invented kind of world, especially this one, I think it's got to be done with a sense of enjoyment to it I guess more than anything. So I never thought of anything as making fun of it, but kind of reveling in the melodrama of it. It's a melodrama.
But the imposition of morality onto science, - where it does not belong - has become rampant in recent years.
My idea of a beach holiday is going to New York for two weeks, just going and hanging out.
