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.

If you're going to retire, retire early.

I'm not going to make movies that tell children, You should despair and run away.
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.

Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.

I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.

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

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.

No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.

You should despair and run away.

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

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

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.

Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.

Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki

I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
To have a film where there's an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that's one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it's not very pleasant to draw evil figures.

In fact, I am a pessimist. But when I'm making a film, I don't want to transfer my pessimism onto children. I keep it at bay. I don't believe that adults should impose their vision of the world on children, children are very much capable of forming their own visions. There's no need to force our own visions onto them.

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.
