When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.
Ang Lee
If you try to act, you're going to look like you're acting. So don't act.
Ang Lee
No matter how widely spread out the films are, how different, you still are you.
Ang Lee

Ang Lee
A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.
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
The most mysterious feminine factor, the existence that we men, we don't know. It's woman. It's feminine. That's what the sword is about. That's the symbolic meaning of the sword.
Ang Lee
