San Francisco is one of my favourite cities in the world...I would probably rank it at the top or near the top. It's small but photogenic and has layers...You never have problems finding great angles that people have never done.

More quotes by Ang Lee
As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.
Ang Lee
Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.
Ang Lee
It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.
Ang Lee
Americans are hidden dragons to me.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.
Ang Lee
When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...
Ang Lee
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 certain time in the core of making a movie from pre-production to halfway through post-production I don't read any project, my agent will tell people that he's not reading. And then when I know how the movie's probably gonna work halfway into post-production, I'll come along.
Ang Lee
What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.
Ang Lee
You become the movie you are making.
Ang Lee
My father was the center of the family, and everyone tried to please him.
Ang Lee
Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
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
Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.
Ang Lee
Everyone in the gay community doesn't think alike.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
When there is a strong woman character in a story - that always grabs me
Ang Lee
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.
