I've read all of Sarah Waters's novels which have been translated into Korean.

Some audiences might find homosexuality an uncomfortable subject matter, and a character who is a Japanese collaborator is always uncomfortable.

In my opinion, all relationships between people have some sort of violence, and it is central.

I love Philip Glass' work, not only as a film composer but also as a musician. The film score work that he does always amazes and shocks me.

I am sure I am one of 2000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.

I actually pay careful attention to that sort of thing - infusing humor into my films - because that's how important I think humor is.

If you are watching my films and wondering, am I missing humorous speak because I'm not Korean? Am I missing out? You don't have to worry, because you're only missing probably about a few cents worth out of your ticket price.
