The media likes to label Octavian as a 'post-80's'. The aspiring director takes this as 'a commendation which I do not deserve.' 'I was born in 1982. Other than that, I don't think I live up to that name. The term now has a special connotation after many post-80's have taken to the street, participated in student movements and supported the container terminal workers on strike. As for me, I have neither the courage nor the vision related to these.'

Octavian said 31 is way too young for a director because there are too many things that a director needs to attend to. 'Working with experienced actors and playwrights like Poon Chan-leung and Candace, I am in awe. Compared to their extensive exposure, I am just a child. All I can do is to absorb like a sponge.' He grasps every opportunity to work in different roles, ranging from lighting to sound, in the hope of becoming a more competent director.
