More quotes by Ang Lee
When you talk about God, the first thing that comes along is not love, it's fear. You have to fear, and be in awe. You have to be scared. Any religion, it's like first thing.
Ang Lee

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
When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...
Ang Lee
When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.
Ang Lee
You become the movie you are making.
Ang Lee
Economically, it’s more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.
Ang Lee
Making a martial arts film in English to me is the same as John Wayne speaking Chinese in a western.
Ang Lee
I guess in Hollywood you chart your life by Oscars. You say to each other, Remember when that movie won that year? It was 2006. Remember that?
Ang Lee
As artists, we like night more than day sometimes.
Ang Lee
I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
