I don't really consider myself a horror director or a violent director at all.

I believe Korea is making the best movies. Only in Korea - you can do whatever you want to without any rating system or whatever. They can make world-class karate movies and make lots of money, which is very important.

Hollywood industry people are very spoiled. I don't think they can adjust to the insane, no-money, super-hard working tradition of Japanese filmmaking. I don't think any American can go through that. They don't want to work more than twelve hours and they want Saturday and Sunday off.

The Hollywood system has its own problems. Movie making is never an easy job.

If I could finance my own movies, I would be doing it.

Wherever I make a movie, no matter what size it is, it's always about a straightforward communication with the producer.
