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.
There's nothing quite as good as folding up into a book and shutting the world outside.If I pick the right one I can be beautiful, or fall in love, or live happily ever after. Maybe even all three.
The thing I've noticed about life is that it just keeps coming at you. And it can be a real bummer. What you need to remember is that you're not alone. You've got friends and family. That's how we get by. We talk and share and eat cake and giggle in the dark, even when we're scared - no, especially when we're scared.
For me, someone like the Eddie Murphy character doesn't live anywhere; he lives on a stage and when he's not on the stage he's on a bus getting to the next stage. You don't really want to see him at home, or all those things you can do in the movie.
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.
Our relationships, relationships between adults, how all those pieces fit together - that's the most complicated thing we all face.
Kinsey thought that Freud in his own way was as dangerous as the Catholic Church.
Because his basic idea that he got from the study of gall wasps is that everyone's sexuality is unique.
I wanted to make connections between Whale's past and present.
I'm a horrible public speaker.
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.
We knew that there was a certain kind of interest in Whale among a genre crowd.
Kinsey kick started a lot in shocking people with how much homosexual activity there is.
Kinsey himself collected absolutely everything.
It's an odd thing to go to New York to shoot a movie that is set in Indiana.
There's no question that Whale's movies are classics. They were wonderful, and successful.
But you really - I always think that a director has got to adapt to whatever the needs of the actor are. You know, so if you take someone like Eddie Murphy, who is not a big fan of rehearsal. You know he comes out of stand-up. He comes - it's all about capturing the moment - in the moment, you know.
There were moments on the set when the depth of the cast of 'Dreamgirls' was almost overwhelming to me.
In Hollywood through the 50s, there were black, English, and Middle European housekeepers and maids.
It's in the nature of television to restrain the spontaneity of a live event. Things become more and more prepackaged.
Kinsey was trying to study sex scientifically, get rid of the overlay of culture and religion.
That day I think we really saw each other for the first time. I mean, saw beyond the bag of bones on the outside. You take away her pretty and my plain and what you get underneath is about the same: a couple of lost girls looking to be found.
Sometimes words just don't get you there... don't let you say all the stuff from deep in your heart, stuff that no dictionary has a name for.
A scientist is an unlikely character to put at the center of a movie.
But the imposition of morality onto science, - where it does not belong - has become rampant in recent years.
