I believe 'love' is very nice to hear, but it's used so much that it's come to a point where it's almost meaningless.

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.

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

There's a humble beauty about listening to period instruments that I like.

I don't really believe in the auteur theory.

A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.

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.
