I am not going to do a film based on a bad scenario just to make a big Hollywood film or work with Hollywood stars.

I've grown up watching a lot of Western genre films on TV, and America is not just a country, but it's one of the most important countries in the world, and examining the process of how this nation came to be, it's an important thing, even for outsiders.

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

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

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process.

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 am sure I am one of 2000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.
