First of all, just knowing people who grew up in the movie business at that time, no one had Mexican maids.
Problems emerge and some people try to sweep them under the rug.
Kinsey kick started a lot in shocking people with how much homosexual activity there is.
The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it's not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that. Both of these actors gave heart and soul to the Twilight movies, not only during shooting, but also by navigating so graciously the whole life-in-a-fishbowl aspect of the phenomenon. Above all they have always shown great respect for the fans who made these movies such a success. Now it's time that some of that respect be returned to them.
One of the people that became a major source was Clarence Tripp who worked with Kinsey.
No piece of writing is ever finished. It’s just due.
Kinsey was trying to study sex scientifically, get rid of the overlay of culture and religion.
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.
Because his basic idea that he got from the study of gall wasps is that everyone's sexuality is unique.
Kinsey was six foot five, and he had this leader of men quality.
Kinsey would identify himself with Galileo in moments of feelings of persecution.
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.
I think it would be fun to write about movies again.
I really think the biopic thing so rarely works, because peoples lives dont have a dramatic shape that can be satisfying.
