Image
Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done.
Ang Lee
Image
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
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.

Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western.

Americans are hidden dragons to me.
Ang Lee
Image
Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.
Ang Lee

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
