I think people are universal.
Ang Lee
Image
Sexuality is a big issue, but there are others - how much you commit to a relationship, to social obligation, to honesty and being honest with yourself.
Ang Lee
Image
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
I don't care about writing really.
Ang Lee
Image
Not taboo - it's just that straight actors still risk their careers commercially and economically. They have to please the crowd - they're movie stars their image is their industry. It goes beyond acting.
Ang Lee
Image
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.
Ang Lee
Image
I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
Ang Lee
Image
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.

Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.
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 like to do drama, something about life that could be disappointing.
Ang Lee
Image
I'm not a master of films. I'm rather a slave.
Ang Lee
Image
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.
Ang Lee
Image
I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
Ang Lee
Image
My cultural roots are something illusive.
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
So I'm a one movie at a time person, I don't develop. Normally we do a movie then one thing leads to another. If something pops up that catches my attention, then I'll decide.
Ang Lee
Image
My first instinct was to cast as close to the short story as possible, but then I realized that I needed actors who could go for it and that they had to function well as a couple in a love story.
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.

Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.
