Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.
Ang Lee
Image
I feel that everyone has a Hulk inside, and each of our Hulks is both scary and, potentially, pleasurable. That's the scariest thing about them.

Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western.
Ang Lee
Image
Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive.
Ang Lee
Image
I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history I'm not that kind of person.
