The L.A. weather is a lot like Taiwan's, where you don't observe four seasons, so the years can pass and you don't feel a thing.

More quotes by Ang Lee
When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.
Ang Lee
I don't have a checklist. Whatever material excites me, they'll call for a certain genre or combination of genres. It'll come naturally and I'll be eager to learn how that thing works. I learn the rules, and I'll probably break some of them.
Ang Lee
The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
Ang Lee
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
I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history I'm not that kind of person.
Ang Lee
When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.
Ang Lee
Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.
Ang Lee
I'm not a master of films. I'm rather a slave.
Ang Lee
The most mysterious feminine factor, the existence that we men, we don't know. It's woman. It's feminine. That's what the sword is about. That's the symbolic meaning of the sword.
Ang Lee
I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.
Ang Lee
After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.
Ang Lee
A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.
Ang Lee
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
No matter how widely spread out the films are, how different, you still are you.
Ang Lee
Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.
Ang Lee
I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
Ang Lee
It's just what I am. When I am in the zone making one movie, I just didn't want to read anything else or do anything else, so I don't really develop projects.
Ang Lee
Mostly it's like, I get inspired by something and I want to learn that part of filmmaking, I want to delve into that kind of depth. And leading, also, a lot of people. A lot of people, for two years of their life they follow me, and they believe what I believe in. So that's some responsibility and I'd like to make it worth the effort.
