More quotes by Hayao Miyazaki
No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.
Hayao Miyazaki
My process is thinking, thinking and thinking - thinking about my stories for a long time.
Hayao Miyazaki
I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
Life is a winking light in the darkness.
Hayao Miyazaki
I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.
Hayao Miyazaki
See with eyes unclouded by hate.
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
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 wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.
Hayao Miyazaki
The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.
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
Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.
Hayao Miyazaki
Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.
Hayao Miyazaki
Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
Hayao Miyazaki
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
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
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.
Hayao Miyazaki
