It's just what I am. When I am in the zone making one movie, I just didn't want to read anything else or do anything else, so I don't really develop projects.
Ang Lee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.

Depending on the budget [whether to use 3D on future movies]. I think I prefer 3D to 2D now. Also, because of 3D I have to use a digital camera, which is the way it's going anyway. That still confuses me, a digital camera versus film.

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.
Ang Lee
Image
3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning. So when I think of doing that I was very excited. It didn't go as far as I think it should, I'm still a novice, but I think it's fair to say it's a new cinematic medium, experience.

Image
My cultural roots are something illusive.
Ang Lee
Image
After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.
Ang Lee
Image
Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.
Ang Lee
Image
Sometimes, you have to get angry to get things done.

Image
In Taiwan, I'd be like Michael Jordan walking down the street.
Ang Lee
Image
Everyone in the gay community doesn't think alike.
Ang Lee
Image
I had to find my way of translating the excitement you get when you're reading comic books to the big screen.
Ang Lee
Image
I have a lot of repression. So repression is what I make movies about.

If you try to act, you're going to look like you're acting. So don't act.
