I think each film should be regarded as its own specific text.

I always write the script by myself.

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

There's hardly any governmental censorship in Korea.

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.

I'm sure mothers are important across every culture, but particularly in Korean society, the role of the mother is of great importance.

People have said, 'Why don't you make your own company like Chan-wook Park has his own company,' but my head is full of writing and directing and I don't feel like I want to run a company. That's not really within my personality as well.
