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.

More quotes by 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
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
I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.
Ang Lee
I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.
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
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
Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.
Ang Lee
As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.
Ang Lee
I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.
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
So many times you see beautiful lovemaking scenes with a lot of exposure or an awkward lovemaking scene, but I think it's very rare that you see it private.
Ang Lee
So there was one point I thought I was gonna lose it, but once I get on something I have to finish it I just kept persuading them and they turned around. One good thing was the international guys really stood behind this movie, they thought they could support this film. So these guys step up and that's really good, and then they turned around.
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
I just did a dramatic love story. Whether it's a cultural phenomenon is not for me to say.
Ang Lee
Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.
Ang Lee
Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.
Ang Lee
Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done.
Ang Lee
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
I like to do drama, something about life that could be disappointing.
Ang Lee
My mother loves me and everything goes well. I have no conflict with her, so that's not dramatic.
