More quotes by Ang Lee
Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.
Ang Lee
I don't like to deal with studios. I don't like to have conversations with executives. I pitch to the studio, then never talk to them until the test screening.
Ang Lee
My father's family were liquidated during the Cultural Revolution in China because they were landowners. He was the only one to escape. I was born and brought up in Taiwan. But you absorb the trauma. My parents had no sense of security.
Ang Lee
When I have a full schedule like that, I don't see myself sitting there for a couple of months, doing the research, going through a painful process, it's just not my thing anymore.
Ang Lee
It's just what I am. When I am in the zone making one movie, I just didn't want to read anything else or do anything else, so I don't really develop projects.
Ang Lee
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
I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history I'm not that kind of person.
Ang Lee
Depending on the budget [whether to use 3D on future movies]. I think I prefer 3D to 2D now. Also, because of 3D I have to use a digital camera, which is the way it's going anyway. That still confuses me, a digital camera versus film.
Ang Lee
With 3D you're right there immersed in the world.
Ang Lee
Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
Ang Lee
The most mysterious feminine factor, the existence that we men, we don't know. It's woman. It's feminine. That's what the sword is about. That's the symbolic meaning of the sword.
Ang Lee
If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.
Ang Lee
As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.
Ang Lee
First we pre-visualized it [the flying fish scene in 'Life of Pi'] so the actors could act. It took a long time to get that to come to life and to design those coming out of the screen. We had great fun with that. It takes a long time, a year maybe.
Ang Lee
San Francisco is one of my favourite cities in the world...I would probably rank it at the top or near the top. It's small but photogenic and has layers...You never have problems finding great angles that people have never done.
Ang Lee
I like to think I'm un-categorisable.
Ang Lee
Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done.
Ang Lee
Everyone in the gay community doesn't think alike.
Ang Lee
I like to do drama, something about life that could be disappointing.
Ang Lee
Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.
