In my creative films, if there was something, some humorous moment that is lost to a non-Korean speaking audience, I'll be very sad.

I hate jeans for no reason.

I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can't express my anger in my real life very well.

Ever since I arrived in America to promote Stoker, I haven't had time to go and see it in a theater. The fact that I had to shoot twice as fast as I'm used to in Korea was the most challenging thing about my Hollywood experience.

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.

In my opinion, all relationships between people have some sort of violence, and it is central.

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.
