Park Chan-wook People Quotations

Living without hate for people is almost impossible.

Lots of people think the violence in the films I make is overwhelming, but they think they're seeing something that they aren't seeing.

People who really try to be conscious of what they have done, who take responsibility, to me these kinds of people are heroes.

I cannot believe that violence depicted onscreen actually causes people to act out violently. That's oversimplifying the issue. If somebody commits a violent act after seeing violence in a movie, I think the question that needs to be asked is: would that person still have committed the act if he had not seen a violent film?

Actors are professionals who deal with people's emotions and their thoughts.

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.

Actors are professionals who deal with people's emotions and their thoughts. So, working with this very intelligent, smart cast meant that sometimes I would only have to start speaking a word and these wonderful actors would immediately catch onto what I wanted them to portray, and how I wanted them to act.
