People say you've got to be OK with your own company, but tell me why?

I never wanted to work for anybody else; I always wanted to be my own boss.

I specifically left the corporate world so I could wear T-shirts, blue jeans, and honestly, I always wanted to be my own boss.

Most young people were getting jobs in big companies, becoming company men. I wanted to be individual.

I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.

I worked for Xerox for 4 years and after that I knew I was never going to be a corporate person. It wasn't my environment.

I love being part of a company, and telling a story.

People have said, 'Why don't you make your own company like Chan-wook Park has his own company,' but my head is full of writing and directing and I don't feel like I want to run a company. That's not really within my personality as well.
