The mother's love for her child is very strong in Korean society - almost on the borderline of being an obsession.

I don't intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.

As a director, or just a film fan who wants to enjoy the festival, Cannes is the worst place to be. But it must be a paradise for distributors and importers.

No matter where I am working, I cannot make a film without 100% creative control and final cut. If there is such a guarantee, I can work anywhere.

I really hate the creature film convention that says you have to wait until the end to see the monster. One hour and all you've seen is just the tip of the creature's tail.

I don't write any kind of sequel or remake.
