Maybe that's what these films are doing. They are my way of blessing the child
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I'm not going to make movies that tell children, You should despair and run away.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
Children understand intuitively that the world they have been born into is not a blessed world.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.

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

If you're going to retire, retire early.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I am an animator. I feel like I'm the manager of a animation cinema factory. I am not an executive. I'm rather like a foreman, like the boss of a team of craftsmen. That is the spirit of how I work.
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
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I find it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I like to go on extended vacations from time to time.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
The love of weaponry is often a manifestation of infantile traits in an adult.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.
Hayao Miyazaki

I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
