More quotes by Hayao Miyazaki
I find it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I like to go on extended vacations from time to time.
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
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
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
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 can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.
Hayao Miyazaki
Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.
Hayao Miyazaki
I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.
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
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
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
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
See with eyes unclouded by hate.
Hayao Miyazaki
I'm not going to make movies that tell children, You should despair and run away.
Hayao Miyazaki
I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
Hayao Miyazaki
When I start creating a villain, I start liking the villain and so the villain is not really evil.
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
