I don't really believe in the auteur theory.

When I'm writing something, if it gets too serious, I just can't bear it, so I take a step back and take the overall scene in and vent the air a little bit.

If I want to relax and not do anything, I don't want to leave home.

I believe there are more films that involve love and forgiveness than violence, but they often seem fake and are almost embarrassing to watch.

I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.

I tend not to use the humor which would only apply to Koreans, or which would only affect the Koreans, as much as I can.

I don't usually watch a lot of TV, but Mad Men changed my perspective. I admire Matthew Weiner who came up with the idea and wrote such a great TV series, and the broadcasting company for being bold enough to air such a series.
