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

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.

Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.

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.

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
Image
I think the book struck me in a few ways that I thought very interesting to pick it as my first martial arts film. It has a very strong female character and it was very abundant in classic Chinese textures.

Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.

You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.

Many times when you make a movie, it feels like your biggest mistake. But even if a film isn't a hit, you shouldn't view it as a mistake.

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.

I think people are universal.

The woman's perspective is like the dark side of the moon: it always exists, but it is never exposed, at least not in my culture.
Ang Lee
Image
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
Image
I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.
Ang Lee
Image
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
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.
Ang Lee
Image
There's a level of sophistication of filmmaking that's mind-boggling. Anything you need for your movie, there's an establishment that can make it happen really fast.
Ang Lee
Image
You have to know the rules, otherwise you have no tools to communicate to the audience, but to keep it fresh you have to break some. I don't choose genres as the element, but the material itself is the element, then I'll decide what genre I need. That's just how I work.

I am not particularly religious. But I think we do face the question of where God is, why we are created and where does life go, why we exist. That sort of thing. And it is very hard to talk about it these days, because it cannot be proven. It is hard to discuss it rationally.

In Taiwan, I'd be like Michael Jordan walking down the street.
