What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.

You have to know the rules, otherwise you have no tools to communicate to the audience, but to keep it fresh you have to break some. I don't choose genres as the element, but the material itself is the element, then I'll decide what genre I need. That's just how I work.

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.

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.

Image
I like to go back to Chinese film-making from time to time. I don't think I can make Chinese films back to back it's such a big effort. I'd have to take a very long break.

When there is a strong woman character in a story - that always grabs me
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
Image
I find it hard to deliver straightforward things.
Ang Lee

American films are less American every day, because you have to please a world audience. There's less authenticity, so it's more accessible.
Ang Lee
Image
Not taboo - it's just that straight actors still risk their careers commercially and economically. They have to please the crowd - they're movie stars their image is their industry. It goes beyond acting.
