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.

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.

As I grow older I spend more time with my wife, and gradually my interest in the woman's world is growing.

When I'm writing something, if it gets too serious, I just can't bear it, so I take a step back and take the overall scene in and vent the air a little bit.

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.

A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.

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