Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.
Ang Lee
Image
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.

I had to find my way of translating the excitement you get when you're reading comic books to the big screen.
Ang Lee
Image
As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.

Image
My mother loves me and everything goes well. I have no conflict with her, so that's not dramatic.

I'm not a master of films. I'm rather a slave.
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.

My father was the center of the family, and everyone tried to please him.

Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.

My first instinct was to cast as close to the short story as possible, but then I realized that I needed actors who could go for it and that they had to function well as a couple in a love story.

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
Image
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.

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.

Image
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.

I think people are universal.

Image
In my culture, there's a tradition that when you're in an overwhelming situation and you don't know what to do, you put yourself in a woman's shoes.

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.

When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...

Image
I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.

I'm just a pretty regular dad.
