Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.
Ang Lee
I have two sons in America, and all they care about in Chinese culture is Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Ang Lee
I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.
Ang Lee
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.
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
I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.

There's a certain time in the core of making a movie from pre-production to halfway through post-production I don't read any project, my agent will tell people that he's not reading. And then when I know how the movie's probably gonna work halfway into post-production, I'll come along.
Ang Lee
Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.
Ang Lee
I'm a big boy now, and I have to deliver.
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
Mostly it's like, I get inspired by something and I want to learn that part of filmmaking, I want to delve into that kind of depth. And leading, also, a lot of people. A lot of people, for two years of their life they follow me, and they believe what I believe in. So that's some responsibility and I'd like to make it worth the effort.
Ang Lee
If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.
Ang Lee
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
Ang Lee
My father was the center of the family, and everyone tried to please him.
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
When I have a full schedule like that, I don't see myself sitting there for a couple of months, doing the research, going through a painful process, it's just not my thing anymore.
