If it was a choice between making movies and doing nothing, he'd probably still wish me to make movies, So he made me keep going.

More quotes by Ang Lee
My hometown was one of the major U.S. Air Force bases.
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
Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.
Ang Lee
A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
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
Beautifully-acted and precisely observed, ILO ILO is an amazing debut, full of heart and intelligence.
Ang Lee
No matter how widely spread out the films are, how different, you still are you.
Ang Lee
The woman's perspective is like the dark side of the moon: it always exists, but it is never exposed, at least not in my culture.
Ang Lee
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
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
Ang Lee
I think people are universal.
Ang Lee
I am not particularly religious. But I think we do face the question of where God is, why we are created and where does life go, why we exist. That sort of thing. And it is very hard to talk about it these days, because it cannot be proven. It is hard to discuss it rationally.
Ang Lee
For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.
Ang Lee
The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.
Ang Lee
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.
Ang Lee
I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.
Ang Lee
I don't like to deal with studios. I don't like to have conversations with executives. I pitch to the studio, then never talk to them until the test screening.
Ang Lee
My father was the center of the family, and everyone tried to please him.
