When we are confronted with extreme situations, we forget about moral issues; we simply act and must then accept the consequences.
I am sure I am one of 2,000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.
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.
The audience seems hazy to me, shrouded in a veil through which I can't see.
I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.
When I was making my first films, I was very interested in Hollywood B movies.
Whether it's trivial or important, every choice has a moral aspect to it to a certain degree.
When I grow older and less popular, there will come a time when I have to shoot films on low budgets.
