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.

I wish I was better at art. I love some of the great artists of the 19th century and, compared to them, I just feel I lack this technique that they had. They have so much skill.

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.

Maybe that's what these films are doing. They are my way of blessing the child

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.

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.

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.

Children understand intuitively that the world they have been born into is not a blessed world.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

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
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.

Life is a winking light in the darkness.

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

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

When I start creating a villain, I start liking the villain and so the villain is not really evil.
