Image
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
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.

There are all kinds of values within the films but I don't make message films.
Hayao Miyazaki

People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.

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

We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

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 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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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
Image
The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
If you're going to retire, retire early.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.
