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
Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.
Ang Lee
I feel that everyone has a Hulk inside, and each of our Hulks is both scary and, potentially, pleasurable. That's the scariest thing about them.
Ang Lee
At times I can't help going for visual comfort. Sometimes a picture fills up your head, and you try to move the actors around to make that visual statement.
Ang Lee
When there is a strong woman character in a story - that always grabs me
Ang Lee
Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western.
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
Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.
Ang Lee
When I sent those scripts, that was the lowest point of my life. We'd just had our second son, and when I went to collect them from hospital, I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers, the screen showed I've got $26 left.
Ang Lee
The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
Ang Lee
I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history I'm not that kind of person.
Ang Lee
If it was a choice between making movies and doing nothing, he'd probably still wish me to make movies, So he made me keep going.
Ang Lee
In Taiwan, I'd be like Michael Jordan walking down the street.
Ang Lee
I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
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
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
I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.
Ang Lee
I like to go back to Chinese film-making from time to time. I don't think I can make Chinese films back to back it's such a big effort. I'd have to take a very long break.
Ang Lee
When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...
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
I see a movie as a way of learning about the world, about myself, and learning about my relationship with people and art.
