It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.

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

People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.
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
Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.

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.
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.

Image
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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
Image
I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Maybe that's what these films are doing. They are my way of blessing the child
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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
Image
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.
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.

Airplanes are the most beautiful when they are in the air.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Life is a winking light in the darkness.

I don't intentionally make deep movies.

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.
