I feel myself becoming more mature and more fascinated and drawn to feminine values.

If you would ask me what my ideal process is, I would say, long pre-production, long production and long post-production.

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.

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

I've always had an interest in vampire films - not just 'Nosferatu,' but there are many others that I have enjoyed: Abel Ferrara,Coppola, Neil Jordan.

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.

I'm not the kind of director who aims to send a message out.
