I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about.
Ang Lee
Image
American films are less American every day, because you have to please a world audience. There's less authenticity, so it's more accessible.
Ang Lee
Image
I don't care about writing really.
Ang Lee
Image
Americans are hidden dragons to me.
Ang Lee
Image
I am not particularly religious. But I think we do face the question of where God is, why we are created and where does life go, why we exist. That sort of thing. And it is very hard to talk about it these days, because it cannot be proven. It is hard to discuss it rationally.

Many times when you make a movie, it feels like your biggest mistake. But even if a film isn't a hit, you shouldn't view it as a mistake.

What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.
Ang Lee

My cultural roots are something illusive.

Not taboo - it's just that straight actors still risk their careers commercially and economically. They have to please the crowd - they're movie stars their image is their industry. It goes beyond acting.

Image
With 3D you're right there immersed in the world.
Ang Lee
Image
I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.
Ang Lee
Image
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
Ang Lee
Image
If you try to act, you're going to look like you're acting. So don't act.
Ang Lee
Image
I don't have a checklist. Whatever material excites me, they'll call for a certain genre or combination of genres. It'll come naturally and I'll be eager to learn how that thing works. I learn the rules, and I'll probably break some of them.
Ang Lee
Image
I'm a big boy now, and I have to deliver.
Ang Lee
Image
Mostly it's like, I get inspired by something and I want to learn that part of filmmaking, I want to delve into that kind of depth. And leading, also, a lot of people. A lot of people, for two years of their life they follow me, and they believe what I believe in. So that's some responsibility and I'd like to make it worth the effort.
