More quotes by Hayao Miyazaki
You should despair and run away.
Hayao Miyazaki
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.
Hayao Miyazaki
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
Hayao Miyazaki
If you're going to retire, retire early.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
I'm not going to make movies that tell children, You should despair and run away.
Hayao Miyazaki
Airplanes are the most beautiful when they are in the air.
Hayao Miyazaki
Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
If [hand-drawn animation] is a dying craft, we can't do anything about it. Civilization moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able to do the same job for 40 years. That's rare in any era.
Hayao Miyazaki
Its not a story in which the characters grow up, but a story in which they draw on something already inside them, brought out by the particular circumstances. I want my young friends to live like that, and I think they, too, have such a wish.
Hayao Miyazaki
I believe nostalgia has many appearances and that it's not just the privilege of adults. I think children too can have nostalgia. It's one of mankind's most shared emotions. It's one of the things that makes us human. When you live, you lose things. It's a fact of life. So it's natural for everyone to have nostalgia.
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
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Well, yes. I believe that children's souls are the inheritors of historical memory from previous generations. It's just that as they grow older and experience the everyday world that memory sinks lower and lower. I feel I need to make a film that reaches down to that level. If I could do that I would die happy.
Hayao Miyazaki
We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.
Hayao Miyazaki
The love of weaponry is often a manifestation of infantile traits in an adult.
Hayao Miyazaki
