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.
Ang Lee
Image
I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.
Ang Lee
Image
I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
Ang Lee
Image
What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.

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 think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.

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.

I have two sons in America, and all they care about in Chinese culture is Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

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.

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.

If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.
Ang Lee
Image
I'm aware of what's missing from my life.
Ang Lee
Image
We need storytelling. Otherwise life just goes on and on, like the number Pi.
Ang Lee
Image
If you try to act, you're going to look like you're acting. So don't act.
Ang Lee
Image
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
Ang Lee
Image
I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.
Ang Lee
Image
Meanwhile, the Ice Storm was still in development, And that was something I really wanted to do, and frankly I don't think I was ready to do a big production like this.
Ang Lee
Image
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
Image
So I'm a one movie at a time person, I don't develop. Normally we do a movie then one thing leads to another. If something pops up that catches my attention, then I'll decide.
Ang Lee
Image
I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history I'm not that kind of person.
