I like to draw my storyboards myself.

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

I think when one becomes very close to another person, it can mean loving and intimacy, but on the other hand, there's also the danger of one destructing another under the name of love. I think that is the scariest thing for me in various relationships.

In the mid 1990s the Korean film industry was really open-minded.

When you first think of making a monster movie you have to realize that a lot of people may be down on you because there is a big prejudice against such films.

My favourite genre lies inside myself, and as I follow my favourite stories, characters and images, it sums up to a certain genre. So at times even I have to try to guess which genre a film will be after I've made it.

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.
