If [hand-drawn animation] is a dying craft, we can't do anything about it. Civilization moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able to do the same job for 40 years. That's rare in any era.

In fact, I am a pessimist. But when I'm making a film, I don't want to transfer my pessimism onto children. I keep it at bay. I don't believe that adults should impose their vision of the world on children, children are very much capable of forming their own visions. There's no need to force our own visions onto them.

I think 2-D animation disappeared from Disney because they made so many uninteresting films. They became very conservative in the way they created them. It's too bad. I thought 2-D and 3-D could coexist happily.

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.

My process is thinking, thinking and thinking - thinking about my stories for a long time.

No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.

Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

I don't like games. You're robbing the precious time of children to be children. They need to be in touch with the real world more.

It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.
