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.

More quotes by Ang Lee
I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
Ang Lee
Every movie I make. That’s my hideout, the place I don’t quite understand, but feel most at home.
Ang Lee
I had to find my way of translating the excitement you get when you're reading comic books to the big screen.
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
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
In my culture, there's a tradition that when you're in an overwhelming situation and you don't know what to do, you put yourself in a woman's shoes.
Ang Lee
When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them.
Ang Lee
You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.
Ang Lee
I feel like all of my characters now take this congested situation, they clash, and from there you purge yourself.
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
Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.
Ang Lee
What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.
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
I feel that everyone has a Hulk inside, and each of our Hulks is both scary and, potentially, pleasurable. That's the scariest thing about them.
Ang Lee
I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.
Ang Lee
On a Chinese film you just give orders, no one questions you. Here, you have to convince people, you have to tell them why you want to do it a certain way, and they argue with you. Democracy.
Ang Lee
If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.
Ang Lee
I think people are universal.
Ang Lee
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
Ang Lee
I like to think I'm un-categorisable.
