Ang Lee was educated in the West and his English is good.

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

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

Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star's fan following.

I am not a fan of westerns particularly.

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.

You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' to talk about love.

I think for the last fifteen, twenty years or so, Hollywood has underestimated the appeal of the Western. I think there is still a huge market.

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.

I am lucky that the Western world chooses me to play roles in their movies an television, whatever language it may be.
