Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.

I think, if allowed, 3D is a new film language. I can have more adventure exploring a new media, that's very exciting. 2D we know most of it, things haven't changed for decades it's the same principles, so 3D's more exciting.

Image
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
Image
We need storytelling. Otherwise life just goes on and on, like the number Pi.
Ang Lee
