But remember this, Japanese boy... airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.

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.

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

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

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

Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The love of weaponry is often a manifestation of infantile traits in an adult.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.

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.

We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.

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

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

Children understand intuitively that the world they have been born into is not a blessed world.
