Ang Lee
Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
In Taiwan, I'd be like Michael Jordan walking down the street.
Ang Lee
