In my creative films, if there was something, some humorous moment that is lost to a non-Korean speaking audience, I'll be very sad.

If your work requires you to travel, you will understand that there's no vacation destination like home.

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

Living without hate for people is almost impossible. There is nothing wrong with fantasizing about revenge. You can have that feeling. You just shouldn't act in it.

Even a small amount of unplanned downtime can effect a company’s profitability and reputation.

For years the league has thought I've been on drugs. I would have burned out a long time ago if that was true.

Only by counting could humans demonstrate their independence of computers.

A good man's life is never quite ended; something of it always remains to touch and illuminate other lives.

Music-making as a means of getting money is hell

Never do anything yourself that you can hire someone else to do, especially if they can do it better.
