I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.

For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.
Ang Lee
Image
American films are less American every day, because you have to please a world audience. There's less authenticity, so it's more accessible.

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.

Image
I find it hard to deliver straightforward things.
Ang Lee

As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.
Ang Lee
Image
I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
Ang Lee
Image
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
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
Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
Ang Lee
Image
When you talk about God, the first thing that comes along is not love, it's fear. You have to fear, and be in awe. You have to be scared. Any religion, it's like first thing.
Ang Lee
Image
In my culture, there's a tradition that when you're in an overwhelming situation and you don't know what to do, you put yourself in a woman's shoes.
Ang Lee
Image
Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.
