Image
My process is thinking, thinking and thinking - thinking about my stories for a long time.
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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
When I start creating a villain, I start liking the villain and so the villain is not really evil.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
There are all kinds of values within the films but I don't make message films.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.

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.

Life is a winking light in the darkness.

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
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.

Airplanes are the most beautiful when they are in the air.

If you're going to retire, retire early.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.

Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Children understand intuitively that the world they have been born into is not a blessed world.
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Maybe that's what these films are doing. They are my way of blessing the child
