Kinsey was trying to study sex scientifically, get rid of the overlay of culture and religion.

I have been a big fan of James Whale.

It's a story told from the inside, by a gay writer, gay director, gay actor, so that you become complicit with it.

Kinsey was six foot five, and he had this leader of men quality.

Kinsey himself collected absolutely everything.

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.

First of all, just knowing people who grew up in the movie business at that time, no one had Mexican maids.

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

In Hollywood through the 50s, there were black, English, and Middle European housekeepers and maids.

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.

One of the people that became a major source was Clarence Tripp who worked with Kinsey.

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