Image
The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.
Hayao Miyazaki

If you're going to retire, retire early.

Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.

But remember this, Japanese boy... airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.

Image
I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
To have a film where there's an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that's one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it's not very pleasant to draw evil figures.

In my grandparents' time, it was believed that spirits existed everywhere - in trees, rivers, insects, wells, anything. My generation does not believe this, but I like the idea that we should all treasure everything because spirits might exist there, and we should treasure everything because there is a kind of life to everything.

I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze and inspire their listeners.

Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
The characters are born from repetition, from repeatedly thinking about them. I have their outline in my head. I become the character and as the character I visit the locations of the story many, many times. Only after that I start drawing the character, but again I do it many, many times, over and over. And I only finish just before the deadline.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.

I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

I'm not going to make movies that tell children, You should despair and run away.

Children understand intuitively that the world they have been born into is not a blessed world.
