Audience Quote by Ang Lee

“You have to know the rules, otherwise you have no…” quote by Ang Lee — Download Open image

“You have to know the rules, otherwise you have no tools to communicate to the audience, but to keep it fresh you have to break some. I don't choose genres as the element, but the material itself is the element, then I'll decide what genre I need. That's just how I work.”
