I hate jeans for no reason.

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.

In my opinion, all relationships between people have some sort of violence, and it is central.

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.

If you would ask me what my ideal process is, I would say, long pre-production, long production and long post-production.

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process.

I don't really believe in the auteur theory.

When I was growing up, we were taught in school that North Koreans, and especially the North Korean leadership, were all devils.

Sometimes you need these warm, human moments - something that feels close - to help things along.

Kita selalu jumpa orang baik-baik sewaktu mengembara, bukan sebab nasib kita baik. Tapi sebab Tuhan kasihan.

All I need is you even though I don't know if I can have you.

I was no good at being a child.

If fear causes you to retreat from your dreams, you will never give the world anything new.

Fate is how your life unfolds when you let fear determine your choices. A path of destiny reveals itself to you, however, when you confront your fear and make conscious choices.

I'd do a podcast about guys wearing shorts when it's too cold.

True rebels after all, are as rare as true lovers,and in both cases, to mistake a fever for passion can destroy one's life

Everything, as you well know . . . cannot always be sweetness and light.

The ironic humor comes from the distance between what we understand about ourselves and what is truly going on in ourselves.

Every age has its temptations, its weaknesses, its dangers. Ours is in the line of the snobbish and the sordid.
