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

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

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

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.

I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.

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.

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.

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.

Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.
