I'm just a pretty regular dad.
Ang Lee
So there was one point I thought I was gonna lose it, but once I get on something I have to finish it I just kept persuading them and they turned around. One good thing was the international guys really stood behind this movie, they thought they could support this film. So these guys step up and that's really good, and then they turned around.

Fighting for identity is something that is very much in my life.
Ang Lee
I'm a big boy now, and I have to deliver.
Ang Lee
It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.

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.

Directing, I get all kinds of inspiration. It's working with people. It's a lot more fun.
Ang Lee
Mostly it's like, I get inspired by something and I want to learn that part of filmmaking, I want to delve into that kind of depth. And leading, also, a lot of people. A lot of people, for two years of their life they follow me, and they believe what I believe in. So that's some responsibility and I'd like to make it worth the effort.
Ang Lee
With 3D you're right there immersed in the world.
Ang Lee
To me, Ennis stands for the conservative side of America. He's the biggest homophobe in the whole movie - culturally and psychologically - but by the time he admits his feelings, it's too late.
Ang Lee
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
Ang Lee
For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.
Ang Lee
The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
Ang Lee
So many times you see beautiful lovemaking scenes with a lot of exposure or an awkward lovemaking scene, but I think it's very rare that you see it private.
Ang Lee
When I started out, nobody gave me scripts, so I had to write...
