I took the name Green Destiny from - well there is such a sword called Green Destiny. It is green because you keep twisting it, it's an ancient skill, you keep twisting it and knocking it and twisting it until it is very elastic and light.

More quotes by Ang Lee
I don't think the Hulk is a superhero. He's the first Marvel character who is a tragic monster. Really an anti-hero.
Ang Lee
What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.
Ang Lee
When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.
Ang Lee
You have to know the rules, otherwise you have no tools to communicate to the audience, but to keep it fresh you have to break some. I don't choose genres as the element, but the material itself is the element, then I'll decide what genre I need. That's just how I work.
Ang Lee
Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.
Ang Lee
No matter how widely spread out the films are, how different, you still are you.
Ang Lee
I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.
Ang Lee
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
As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.
Ang Lee
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
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
I'm just a pretty regular dad.
Ang Lee
I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history I'm not that kind of person.
Ang Lee
Beautifully-acted and precisely observed, ILO ILO is an amazing debut, full of heart and intelligence.
Ang Lee
American films are less American every day, because you have to please a world audience. There's less authenticity, so it's more accessible.
Ang Lee
Everyone in the gay community doesn't think alike.
Ang Lee
If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.
Ang Lee
I think, if allowed, 3D is a new film language. I can have more adventure exploring a new media, that's very exciting. 2D we know most of it, things haven't changed for decades it's the same principles, so 3D's more exciting.
Ang Lee
I have two sons in America, and all they care about in Chinese culture is Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
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.
