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.

With 3D you're right there immersed in the world.

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.

I grew up pretty peacefully, in that Eastern way. You easily solve problems, believe in harmony. Reduce conflicts, take orders until one day you give orders.

3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning.

I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.

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.

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

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.

When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.

No matter how widely spread out the films are, how different, you still are you.

Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.

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.
