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.

I'd love to do a sci-fi movie, a western, or an espionage thriller. But I'm not going to limit myself. If a good script comes along, I'm not going to discount it because it doesn't fit into one of these genres.

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.

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

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

Actors are professionals who deal with people's emotions and their thoughts. So, working with this very intelligent, smart cast meant that sometimes I would only have to start speaking a word and these wonderful actors would immediately catch onto what I wanted them to portray, and how I wanted them to act.

I hate jeans for no reason.
