More quotes by Ang Lee
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
Ang Lee
Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.
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'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.
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
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
When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.
Ang Lee
It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.
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.
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.
Ang Lee
I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.
Ang Lee
When I grew up, in Taiwan, the Korean War was seen as a good war, where America protected Asia. It was sort of an extension of World War II. And it was, of course, the peak of the Cold War. People in Taiwan were generally proAmerican. The Korean War made Japan. And then the Vietnam War made Taiwan. There is some truth to that.
Ang Lee
My cultural roots are something illusive.
Ang Lee
I guess in Hollywood you chart your life by Oscars. You say to each other, Remember when that movie won that year? It was 2006. Remember that?
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 father's family were liquidated during the Cultural Revolution in China because they were landowners. He was the only one to escape. I was born and brought up in Taiwan. But you absorb the trauma. My parents had no sense of security.
Ang Lee
I find it hard to deliver straightforward things.
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.
