Its not a story in which the characters grow up, but a story in which they draw on something already inside them, brought out by the particular circumstances. I want my young friends to live like that, and I think they, too, have such a wish.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Since I am a person who starts work without clear knowledge of a storyline, every single scene is a pivotal scene.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.
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
I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Children understand intuitively that the world they have been born into is not a blessed world.
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.

Maybe that's what these films are doing. They are my way of blessing the child
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I believe that fantasy in the meaning of imagination is very important. We shouldn't stick too close to everyday reality but give room to the reality of the heart, of the mind, and of the imagination.
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
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
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
Image
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
The love of weaponry is often a manifestation of infantile traits in an adult.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
When I start creating a villain, I start liking the villain and so the villain is not really evil.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I'm not going to make movies that tell children, You should despair and run away.
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.
