Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.
Hayao Miyazaki
I wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.
Hayao Miyazaki
I wish I was better at art. I love some of the great artists of the 19th century and, compared to them, I just feel I lack this technique that they had. They have so much skill.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
Hayao Miyazaki
At the time, sword and sorcery stories were quite popular. There were female warriors waving swords around as well, but the genre is populated entirely with people who have absolutely no responsibility to anyone, so I knew my story would have to be completely different from any of these.
Hayao Miyazaki
There are all kinds of values within the films but I don't make message films.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Since I am a person who starts work without clear knowledge of a storyline, every single scene is a pivotal scene.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
Hayao Miyazaki
Modern life is so thin and shallow and fake. I look forward to when developers go bankrupt, Japan gets poorer and wild grasses take over.
Hayao Miyazaki
Airplanes are the most beautiful when they are in the air.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.
Hayao Miyazaki
People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.
Hayao Miyazaki
Well, yes. I believe that children's souls are the inheritors of historical memory from previous generations. It's just that as they grow older and experience the everyday world that memory sinks lower and lower. I feel I need to make a film that reaches down to that level. If I could do that I would die happy.
Hayao Miyazaki
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
Hayao Miyazaki
