Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
Hayao Miyazaki

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

In my grandparents' time, it was believed that spirits existed everywhere - in trees, rivers, insects, wells, anything.

I managed to work for more than 50 years with just paper, pencils and film. My son's generation and the one coming up after can't work with just paper and pencils any more. I managed to avoid using a computer. I don't even have a cellphone. I feel lucky I managed to live like that.

I am an animator. I feel like I'm the manager of a animation cinema factory. I am not an executive. I'm rather like a foreman, like the boss of a team of craftsmen. That is the spirit of how I work.

I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
