A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.
Ang Lee

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.

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.

I wanted to shoot straight, mainstream, somehow off-beat. Not only realistic West, which is quite unfamiliar to the world's population - even to a lot of Americans.
Ang Lee
Image
There's only one movie in my career I've had regrets with cutting it shorter, and I think some scenes maybe I shouldn't have cut.
Ang Lee
Image
In the past I've made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can't really hate them. You can discard them, but you can't really hate them.
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
We need storytelling. Otherwise life just goes on and on, like the number Pi.
Ang Lee
Image
What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.
Ang Lee
Image
I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.
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
My mother loves me and everything goes well. I have no conflict with her, so that's not dramatic.

Image
I'm just a pretty regular dad.
