More quotes by Ang Lee
I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.
Ang Lee
My first instinct was to cast as close to the short story as possible, but then I realized that I needed actors who could go for it and that they had to function well as a couple in a love story.
Ang Lee
We need storytelling. Otherwise life just goes on and on, like the number Pi.
Ang Lee
Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.
Ang Lee
There's a certain time in the core of making a movie from pre-production to halfway through post-production I don't read any project, my agent will tell people that he's not reading. And then when I know how the movie's probably gonna work halfway into post-production, I'll come along.
Ang Lee
I'm just a pretty regular dad.
Ang Lee
I don't think the Hulk is a superhero. He's the first Marvel character who is a tragic monster. Really an anti-hero.
Ang Lee
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
With 3D you're right there immersed in the world.
Ang Lee
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
The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.
Ang Lee
The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
Ang Lee
Everyone in the gay community doesn't think alike.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
I guess in Hollywood you chart your life by Oscars. You say to each other, Remember when that movie won that year? It was 2006. Remember that?
Ang Lee
You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.
Ang Lee
I think people are universal.
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
If it was a choice between making movies and doing nothing, he'd probably still wish me to make movies, So he made me keep going.
Ang Lee
I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
