The audience seems hazy to me, shrouded in a veil through which I can't see.

I have always meticulously storyboarded my films from beginning to end.

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

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.

Actually, I can't stand watching violent scenes in films; I avoid watching horror films. I don't tend to watch action films mainly because I find them boring, but I watch the films of David Cronenberg and Martin Scorsese, usually in a state close to having a heart attack. I'm a complete coward. I make violent films as a result of my sensitivity to violence - in other words, my fear of violence.

I feel myself becoming more mature and more fascinated and drawn to feminine values.

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.
