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

I wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
My process is thinking, thinking and thinking - thinking about my stories for a long time.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.

Image
Modern life is so thin and shallow and fake. I look forward to when developers go bankrupt, Japan gets poorer and wild grasses take over.

There are all kinds of values within the films but I don't make message films.
Hayao Miyazaki

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

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.

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

Life is a winking light in the darkness.
Hayao Miyazaki

Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
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
We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.
