I Was Trying To Figure Out Where My Intellect, If I Really Have One, Where It Fit. And So I Was Searching. I Really Didn't Know Who I Was Or What I Really Wanted To Be, And In That Search, Like I Think You Do As An Actor, You End Up Trying To Define Whatever That Is, And I Sort Of Said, "oh Well, Searching Spiritually In A Way Is Interesting, And Eastern Religion Seems To Be About A Search."

Ang Lee Just Allowed Me To Make What We Would Call Mistakes And Had No Judgment Of Them. He Also Empowered Me. You Know, He's Like, "you're My Actor. I Chose You. Whatever You Do Is Right." Right? "i Made The Decision, I'm Complicit In Choosing You. And I Went Through Everything I Could To Choose You, So I Feel Good And Whatever You're Going To Do I'm Going To Give You This Space." And So It Was Very Empowering.
