I don't intentionally make deep movies.
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
If you're going to retire, retire early.
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
Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.
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.

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

Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
The love of weaponry is often a manifestation of infantile traits in an adult.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.
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
Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I think talent decides everything. More than the method, what's important is the talent using it. There's nothing inherently wrong or right about a method, whether it be pencil drawings or 3-D CG. Pencil drawings don't have to go away, but those who continue to use the medium lack talent. So sadly, it will fade away.

Life is a winking light in the darkness.

I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.
