I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.
Ang Lee
Image
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
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.

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. So when I think of doing that I was very excited. It didn't go as far as I think it should, I'm still a novice, but I think it's fair to say it's a new cinematic medium, experience.

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

I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.

The way I go about a lovemaking scene is that we will talk about it during the rehearsing time.

These days I'm mostly familiar with two parts of L.A.: one is movie culture, and the other is Asian culture. The Westside is work, and the Eastside is Chinese - which means my friends.

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 think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.

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.

My hometown was one of the major U.S. Air Force bases.

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.
Ang Lee
Image
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.

I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.

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.

If it was a choice between making movies and doing nothing, he'd probably still wish me to make movies, So he made me keep going.

There's a certain time in the core of making a movie from pre-production to halfway through post-production I don't read any project, my agent will tell people that he's not reading. And then when I know how the movie's probably gonna work halfway into post-production, I'll come along.
