I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.
Ang Lee
Image
I think people are universal.
Ang Lee
Image
I'm aware of what's missing from my life.

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
Image
I'm just a pretty regular dad.
Ang Lee
Image
At times I can't help going for visual comfort. Sometimes a picture fills up your head, and you try to move the actors around to make that visual statement.
Ang Lee
Image
It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.
Ang Lee

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

I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.

Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.
Ang Lee
Image
I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.

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

Things that don't have a big impact seem to be crucial. Always when you go out to make a movie you have questions, What if this doesn't work? What if that doesn't work? you want to cover yourself, you want to bring back enough [footage] so you can do something.
Ang Lee
Image
To me, Ennis stands for the conservative side of America. He's the biggest homophobe in the whole movie - culturally and psychologically - but by the time he admits his feelings, it's too late.
Ang Lee
Image
I don't care about writing really.
Ang Lee
Image
Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
Ang Lee
Image
I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.
Ang Lee
Image
Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.
Ang Lee
Image
If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.
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.
