There's No Question That Whale's Movies Are

Kinsey Was Six Foot Five, And He Had This Leader Of Men Quality.

From Its Inception By Michael Bennett, 'dreamgirls' Has Always Been An Epic Story With An Ensemble Cast. I Didn't Change That. The Screen Version Remains, Really, A Group Story.

I Wanted To Make Connections Between Whale's Past And Present.

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.

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.
