I don't intentionally make deep movies.
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.

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

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.

The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.
Hayao Miyazaki

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.

I wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.
Hayao Miyazaki

Virtual reality is a denial of reality. We need to be open to the powers of imagination, which brings something useful to reality. Virtual reality can imprison people.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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
Image
Prizes do not mean anything to me. I think it is more important to make a child aware of the existence of a weird creature like a water spider that breathes through its backside.
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
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

Since I am a person who starts work without clear knowledge of a storyline, every single scene is a pivotal scene.

Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.
