But you don't hire Ang Lee to do a typical children's movie. But it's such an interesting combination, whoever thought of getting Ang together with a comic book, that was just great.

Dennis Muren

The thing that is so great about Ang Lee is the diversity in his filmmaking, from 'Brokeback...' to 'The Hulk.'

Sam Taylor-Johnson

We are all from different cultures. Heath's [Ledger] Australian, really. I'm from here. Ang's [Lee] from China. But I think Ang gets very close in preproduction and rehearsals. And then he allows his actors - I don't think scared of actors, but I think he's scared of getting in on the scenes he's watching. The space he's watching. So he just totally disconnects from you while you're shooting.

Jake Gyllenhaal

Other times you can get showy for three minutes, and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie, you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang, respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it - he is in charge of it.

Dennis Muren

From beginning to end I worried that Ang Lee wouldn't be satisfied with my work. So I worked as hard as I could to earn his trust, because you only get a chance like this once.

Zhang Ziyi

I also love a film by Ang Lee - "Lust, Caution."

Meital Dohan

The opportunity, number one, to work with Ang Lee is an amazing thing for me.

Sam Elliott

Ang Lee - he is amazing. I think doing a film with him would be breathtaking.

Henry Golding

Wong Kar-wai and Ang Lee are two Asian directors I'm really fond of.

Bai Ling

My first film that I got right after 'Spring Awakening' was called 'Taking Woodstock,' and Ang Lee was the director.

Jonathan Groff

I don't want to be more famous. I enjoy making movies but I enjoy my private life too. As an actor, to do it once in my lifetime I think would be a good experience. But I'll just leave it to fate. I had a chance to work with Ang Lee because of fate.

Tony Leung Chiu Wai

I had attraction to work with Ang Lee. I wanted to work with him.

Tabu

I'm not Ang Lee who knows so much about western market and the taste of western audiences.

Zhang Yimou

Ang Lee's been nominated for best director for "Life of Pi," which is what I'm going to call the six weeks after I take this dress off.

Amy Poehler

Ang Lee and 'Hulk,' for instance - a movie about a guy with different-colored skin and a lot of repressed rage? Sounds like the perfect film for an Asian, to me!
