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.

More quotes by Ang Lee
Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.
Ang Lee
My father's family were liquidated during the Cultural Revolution in China because they were landowners. He was the only one to escape. I was born and brought up in Taiwan. But you absorb the trauma. My parents had no sense of security.
Ang Lee
I'm aware of what's missing from my life.
Ang Lee
The way I go about a lovemaking scene is that we will talk about it during the rehearsing time.
Ang Lee
I don't have a checklist. Whatever material excites me, they'll call for a certain genre or combination of genres. It'll come naturally and I'll be eager to learn how that thing works. I learn the rules, and I'll probably break some of them.
Ang Lee
With 3D you're right there immersed in the world.
Ang Lee
American films are less American every day, because you have to please a world audience. There's less authenticity, so it's more accessible.
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 wanted to shoot straight, mainstream, somehow off-beat. Not only realistic West, which is quite unfamiliar to the world's population - even to a lot of Americans.
Ang Lee
What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.
Ang Lee
Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
Ang Lee
Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.
Ang Lee
I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.
Ang Lee
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
You become the movie you are making.
Ang Lee
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
The L.A. weather is a lot like Taiwan's, where you don't observe four seasons, so the years can pass and you don't feel a thing.
Ang Lee
I think doing period piece is easier, because after a certain distance, everybody is equal, I think. The relative contemporary is harder. I think that's the way it is.
Ang Lee
I don't think the Hulk is a superhero. He's the first Marvel character who is a tragic monster. Really an anti-hero.
