Image
I think people are universal.
Ang Lee
Image
At times I can't help going for visual comfort. Sometimes a picture fills up your head, and you try to move the actors around to make that visual statement.
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.
Ang Lee
Image
The L.A. weather is a lot like Taiwan's, where you don't observe four seasons, so the years can pass and you don't feel a thing.
Ang Lee
Image
I think the book struck me in a few ways that I thought very interesting to pick it as my first martial arts film. It has a very strong female character and it was very abundant in classic Chinese textures.
Ang Lee
Image
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
Ang Lee
Image
Things that don't have a big impact seem to be crucial. Always when you go out to make a movie you have questions, What if this doesn't work? What if that doesn't work? you want to cover yourself, you want to bring back enough [footage] so you can do something.

There's only one movie in my career I've had regrets with cutting it shorter, and I think some scenes maybe I shouldn't have cut.
Ang Lee
Image
You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.
Ang Lee
Image
I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.
Ang Lee
Image
I'm not a master of films. I'm rather a slave.
Ang Lee
Image
On a Chinese film you just give orders, no one questions you. Here, you have to convince people, you have to tell them why you want to do it a certain way, and they argue with you. Democracy.
Ang Lee
Image
So many times you see beautiful lovemaking scenes with a lot of exposure or an awkward lovemaking scene, but I think it's very rare that you see it private.
Ang Lee
Image
I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.
Ang Lee
Image
You become the movie you are making.
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'm aware of what's missing from my life.
Ang Lee
Image
Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.
Ang Lee
Image
The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
Ang Lee
Image
I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.
