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

In Korea is what I do is I watch the playback of each take with all of the actors and spend a lot of time discussing each take. Also, I use the process we call auto-assembly because I storyboard my entire film right at the beginning, even before pre-production ever begins, so my vision is already laid out on the storyboard for everybody to share. It enables the on-set assembly person, as we call them, to cut together each take into a sequence. This enables a director to review the take within the context of the sequence of the scene.

I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.

You could say that evil is contagious in that we have this mesmerizing mentor in Uncle Charlie who comes into your life. Every person has a seed of evil inside them, and when you come across such a mesmerizing mentor, he is able to successfully turn it into a flower of evil.

I'd like to do a really masculine film.

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process.

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