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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Certain subjects may no longer be taboo in cinema. But there are ways to treat them that still create shock.
