Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.
Ang Lee
Image
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
Ang Lee
Image
My hometown was one of the major U.S. Air Force bases.
Ang Lee
Image
I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.
Ang Lee
Image
I'm a drifter and an outsider. There's not one single environment I can totally belong to.
Ang Lee
Image
Americans are hidden dragons to me.
Ang Lee
Image
I see a movie as a way of learning about the world, about myself, and learning about my relationship with people and art.
Ang Lee
Image
I hope people don't compare 2D and 3D because 3D's new, it's unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we're jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.

I'm a big boy now, and I have to deliver.
Ang Lee
Image
I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about.

These days I'm mostly familiar with two parts of L.A.: one is movie culture, and the other is Asian culture. The Westside is work, and the Eastside is Chinese - which means my friends.
Ang Lee
Image
I grew up pretty peacefully, in that Eastern way. You easily solve problems, believe in harmony. Reduce conflicts, take orders until one day you give orders.
Ang Lee
Image
I just did a dramatic love story. Whether it's a cultural phenomenon is not for me to say.
Ang Lee
Image
Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.
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.
Ang Lee
Image
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
Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.
Ang Lee
Image
I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.
Ang Lee
Image
If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.
