Obviously, I've made several films in Korea, so I'm very well accustomed and acclimated to Korean filmmaking.

I've always been a fan of Korean cinema but never really pursued it, as I wanted to pave my way here in the States. I figured, once I established myself here, Korea might take notice. And it did.

In Korea, I do different kinds of genres. So, like that, I would like to do a lot of good acting films.

I think each film I do has less and less dialogue. It really helps a lot for foreign sales, because when I go to Europe, there's very little problem with communication. All the gags are visual. The music they can understand, and it helps communicate a lot better.

Apart from being interested in a good role, I think it's necessary to make up your mind as to whether it will make a movie that will entertain an audience all over the world and not just in your own backyard.

Biblical movies need not sermonize, just be honest to the foundational story. As powerful as the message is for people of faith, it's really great storytelling.

It makes it difficult to decide which to go see, since no film about say, some tragic genocide in Africa is going to get a bad review even if it's poorly made.

A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.

Movies are becoming more global, which is making them less intimate. If you make a movie for the world, you don't make it for any country.
