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

When I was growing up, we were taught in school that North Koreans, and especially the North Korean leadership, were all devils.

I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.

I am sure I am one of 2,000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.

When I say that I am going to do an American film, I didn't want to suddenly go off into a completely different world that which bears no relation to the style of filmmaking that I'm used to.

I believe there are more films that involve love and forgiveness than violence, but they often seem fake and are almost embarrassing to watch.
