thought you might be intrigued (or that it's old news to you), but you know when MS quotes "what do any of us have but our illusions, and what do we ask of others, but we be allowed to keep them?" in that GO press tour interview? discovered today it's from Kenneth Williams: Fantabulosa (2006), in a conversation about the morality of casual sex...
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
I still can't get Michael quoting that line out of my head. I'll put up the video here so we can see it again:
I actually have seen Fantabulosa as well, which I watched in 2019 after first discovering Michael and binge-watching my way through his filmography. For some reason, though, I'd completely forgotten that that quote was said in there (within the context of the morality of casual sex, no less), so I very much appreciate you refreshing my memory.
What's really interesting is that the quote itself isn't actually originally from Fantabulosa--it's from W. Somerset Maugham, who was a closeted gay author/playwright who married a woman (Syrie Wellcome) out of obligation. Per Wikipedia:
"After the South Seas trip Maugham visited the US and was joined by Syrie. In May 1917 they married at a ceremony in New Jersey. He entered the marriage from a sense of duty rather than from personal inclination, and the two quickly began to grow apart."
So yes, I get the feeling that the "what do any of us have but our illusions" quote being featured in Fantabulosa was not an accident, and Michael saying it in that GO 2 interview last year was even less of one. To quote Douglas MacKinnon from a few years ago: "Everything is meant..."

I liked that you had me standing up. Dr. Holden. Of the Kansas City Holdens. We may look like the white picket fence types, but we’re not. Nothing ho hum about us.

I like that Masters of Sex was like, "okay we have these two people who did this sex study named Bill Masters and Virginia Johnson and they had a relationship and learned some important stuff about sex" and literally threw everything else out the window.
Both actors chosen are absolutely beautiful, they made up fake children, the real Bill Masters was a total asshole republican and nowhere near as progressive as M.S.'s Bill. M.S. didn't even really read up on Bill Masters before he was cast but I'm so glad that the show was what it was.
By season three, Bill and Virginia may as well have been fictional characters. Minus baby Lisa, Bill, Virginia and Libby, everyone else was basically fictional. It was better for it. Real life humans rarely go through any real character development. It's basically an irl AU. It's wonderful television.
