A Bookmark Near the End He loves history. He wanted to write a biography of John Quincy Adams. I, shamefully, knew almost nothing about John Quincy Adams, so I went online and bought every biography of him I could find. One day, he called me, claiming that we wouldn’t work out long-term. He said he loved me but that we had different interests. “What does love mean to you?” I said. “That’s an impossible question,” he replied. I, however, find love to be quite simple. Love is the stack of biographies on my nightstand with a bookmark near the end.

The love scenes are quite brutal. Is it true that Heath Ledger almost broke Jake Gyllenhaal’s nose when they kissed?

Ang Lee: Yeah [laughs]. I encouraged them to do a passionate kiss and I encouraged them [saying that] you could never kiss a woman that hard so give me the most heroic western kiss and they went about it and almost broke each other’s noses. At the time we were easy enough [together] to crack jokes. Usually I don’t rehearse those scenes - technically I will rehearse it, but how they [the actors] go about it, I just expect them to deliver.
