Kim Ki-duk

A director should not define everything. For me, the movie is a form of a question I pose to the others or to the audience. I want to ask their opinion on my point of view and discuss it with them.

A person's current personality of love, hatred, jealousy, rage or a murderous intent and so on is formed upon genetic elements, education, the environment and a family a person grows in.

Many people who have watched 'Pieta' have said my filmmaking has become more objective.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.
