| | The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: Getting to the heart of Alfred Kinsey |
 | | Bill Condon, writer/director of "Kinsey" and "Gods and Monsters" (for which he won a screenwriting Academy Award in 1998) and screenwriter of "Chicago," came to Seattle for a brief visit earlier this month to talk about the long process of making "Kinsey." Here, in his words, are his thoughts: |
 | | There was one man, Clarence Tripp, who got involved with Kinsey right after the publication of the male volume, took thousands of films for him, became close to him, became a psychologist and writer in his own right. |
 | | One Kinsey biographer, Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy, put it so well when he said, "America is the most licentious culture since Rome, and the most puritanical country ever invented." That tension we don't have a lot of sex, but when we do, we go crazy with it. |
