Heath Ledger on working with director Ang Lee:
"Ang has a superb understanding of the intimacy and internal nature of film acting. His attention to detail is microscopic in pre-production ... think about the way you walk, talk. Then go away, digest it all, spit out a character of your own. Turn up to film, and Ang barely says a word the entire shoot.
"He trusts you to have given birth to the instincts,
brain and breath of the character, and instead of directing you, he directs the environ
ment around you to make it believable."
Tale of an untrained homeboy
