Paul Giamatti: Chuck Rhoades

Quotes 

• Chuck Rhoades : I, uh, in my private life in the confines of my happy marriage with my consenting wife practice sado-masochism. Uh, yeah. Bondage, dominance, uh, all the rest. Masks, binds, ropes, fire. Wow, my shoulders loosen for the first time in decades. I am a masochist. In order to achieve sexual gratification I need to be tied up, punched, pinched, whipped, kicked, or otherwise tortured by my loving wife. And here's the bigger truth. All of us need something, right? Now, I don't know what you do with your loved one but I do know this: You're probably embarrassed about it. You probably don't want the rest of us looking at you while you do it unless that's your thing and, if so, great. But wouldn't we be better off if we didn't let shame win. If we didn't feel sheepish, didn't feel we had to hide what moves us.
