I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.

I think, if allowed, 3D is a new film language. I can have more adventure exploring a new media, that's very exciting. 2D we know most of it, things haven't changed for decades it's the same principles, so 3D's more exciting.
Ang Lee

3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning. So when I think of doing that I was very excited. It didn't go as far as I think it should, I'm still a novice, but I think it's fair to say it's a new cinematic medium, experience.

When you talk about God, the first thing that comes along is not love, it's fear. You have to fear, and be in awe. You have to be scared. Any religion, it's like first thing.

Image
Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.
Ang Lee
Image
In my culture, there's a tradition that when you're in an overwhelming situation and you don't know what to do, you put yourself in a woman's shoes.
Ang Lee
Image
A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.
Ang Lee
Image
Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.

When there is a strong woman character in a story - that always grabs me
Ang Lee

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
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.

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.
