Ang Lee was educated in the West and his English is good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
The opportunity, number one, to work with Ang Lee is an amazing thing for me.
You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' to talk about love.
For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.
If you ask most high schoolers who Bruce Lee is, they will say that it someone they sit next to in English class.
My father's people... are from Fairfax in northern Virginia, just across the Mason-Dixon line. So it was an honour to play Lee, he was a great general.
The thing that is so great about Ang Lee is the diversity in his filmmaking, from 'Brokeback...' to 'The Hulk.'
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.
I'm not Ang Lee who knows so much about western market and the taste of western audiences.
Gandhi, brought out of his semirural setting and given a Western-style education, initially attempted to become more English than the English.
