Bong Joon-ho

“When I was a kid, I was always watching genre movies on TV.”

“I like to draw my storyboards myself.”

“In the mid 1990s the Korean film industry was really open-minded.”

“No matter where I am working, I cannot make a film without 100% creative control and final cut. If there is such a guarantee, I can work anywhere.”

“I am a fan of the monster and horror genre but that's not my style as a director.”

“I think when one becomes very close to another person, it can mean loving and intimacy, but on the other hand, there's also the danger of one destructing another under the name of love. I think that is the scariest thing for me in various relationships.”

“I always write the script by myself.”

“I don't intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.”
