“The story took place in the summer of 2003, in the Beverly Hills Hotel, at a luncheon held by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. On Fraser’s way out of the hotel, he was hailed by a former president of the HFPA. In the midst of a crowded room, the man reached out to shake Fraser’s hand. He pinched Fraser’s ass—in jest, according to the man. But Fraser says what the man did was more than a pinch: ‘His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around.’”

“Listen, I’m aware of its shortcomings. I know it’s not the prettiest place to live in Los Angeles. But it’s home! And that just becomes the thing you love. I could spend my whole life here — I’m in the middle of spending my whole life here. And there’s still more to see, more nooks and crannies, more places to go. I don’t have that kind of desperation to search out some other part of L. A. I’d probably just end up feeling like I was failing all over town as opposed to concentrating on what I can hold in my hand. My memories are strong here and I like seeing my kids have memories here as well.”

“I wasn’t there to tell them what to do. I more or less described it as best I could. One has to see him assault the peach. I mean, I’ve never made love to a peach. And most peaches aren’t very big, so I wasn’t quite sure you would do that. I was imagining very big peaches. I went to Oregon, and found some quite big peaches and thought if the peach was that big you could have sex with it. But I had to see it presented on film to really get it.”

“Relitigating the abuse charges is a way of avoiding the real work, which is the endless, not always pleasant task of interpreting Mr. Allen’s work. The movies and what they have meant to so many of us will not just vanish. The ambivalence needs to be acknowledged and analyzed, which is why I’ve spent much of the past few weeks rewatching movies that I used to count among my favorites.”

“After that election it was like, What’s next? We went into this movie wondering, Oh my God, is the world ready for this film? Like so many people in the country, I was wondering where I stood, wondering where my narratives stood. Going into that, and making this film, I just hoped and prayed that this film could be received for all that it can be.”
Winston Duke On The Black Panther Moment
“On stage, you definitely get this great adrenaline rush because of the pure fear of stepping out in front of people… It’s so acute that I think you will always have that. When it comes doing something like a song and dance number — like, I danced at the Oscars and that was terrifying — you sort of just have to remind yourself that you know how to do this. You’ve been rehearsing, so just do it. Stop thinking about it. Those are the moments I get the most nervous about because it’s both terrifying and exciting. And the feeling of making it through every night is what’s unique to theater.”
