I didn't know I wanted to do films until I started to do them. Very few films are made in Mexico and film-making belonged to a very specific group, a clique.

You can make films in a lot of countries, but they don't have very wide releases.

I make American films for American audiences and Asian films for Asian audiences.

I'm a European, and I live there. I work in European films, and then once in a while, I make an American movie.

I never really worked in Hollywood. Some American producers came to Europe to shoot films with me, so it's a different situation... It was not my aim.

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

I've been lucky enough to build a career outside of America, where I got 18 years and over 60 films of experience.

I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.

Hollywood movies are seen throughout the world.
