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.

There's hardly any governmental censorship in Korea.

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

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

The multilevel, the conscious and the unconscious, is natural when I write scripts, when I come up with ideas and stories.

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

I like to draw my storyboards myself.
