• The discipline, nonetheless, is exacting: everything that can be observed should be observed, even if it is only recalled as the bland background from which the intriguing bits pop out like Venus in the evening sky.

• Solitary confinement has been used extensively, it always has. I was in prison for 44 years; it was a normal part of life - the practice of it. They put you in solitary confinement for disciplinary reasons, they put you in solitary confinement to protect you from violence or whatever, and they also put you in solitary confinement just to show you who has got the power ... It's not something new; it's just something that nobody really cared about in the past.

• The quality of Korean actors is actually quite high. Their passion is overwhelming but not many platforms are available to cater to their creative needs.

• The idea of psychedelic societies is something new. And it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone takes the drug.
