More quotes by Ang Lee
I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
Ang Lee
I like to go back to Chinese film-making from time to time. I don't think I can make Chinese films back to back it's such a big effort. I'd have to take a very long break.
Ang Lee
I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.
Ang Lee
In Taiwan, I'd be like Michael Jordan walking down the street.
Ang Lee
As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
Ang Lee

I took the name Green Destiny from - well there is such a sword called Green Destiny. It is green because you keep twisting it, it's an ancient skill, you keep twisting it and knocking it and twisting it until it is very elastic and light.
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
I wanted to shoot straight, mainstream, somehow off-beat. Not only realistic West, which is quite unfamiliar to the world's population - even to a lot of Americans.
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 feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.
Ang Lee
For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.
Ang Lee
My father was the center of the family, and everyone tried to please him.
Ang Lee
Beautifully-acted and precisely observed, ILO ILO is an amazing debut, full of heart and intelligence.
Ang Lee
If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.
Ang Lee
Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.
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
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.
