Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive.

More quotes by Ang Lee
I have two sons in America, and all they care about in Chinese culture is Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
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
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
I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
Ang Lee
The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.
Ang Lee
What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.
Ang Lee
Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.
Ang Lee
These days I'm mostly familiar with two parts of L.A.: one is movie culture, and the other is Asian culture. The Westside is work, and the Eastside is Chinese - which means my friends.
Ang Lee
I think doing period piece is easier, because after a certain distance, everybody is equal, I think. The relative contemporary is harder. I think that's the way it is.
Ang Lee
I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.
Ang Lee
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
Meanwhile, the Ice Storm was still in development, And that was something I really wanted to do, and frankly I don't think I was ready to do a big production like this.
Ang Lee
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
You become the movie you are making.
Ang Lee
Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.
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.
Ang Lee
I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.
Ang Lee
The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
Ang Lee
I just did a dramatic love story. Whether it's a cultural phenomenon is not for me to say.
