More quotes by Hayao Miyazaki
When I start creating a villain, I start liking the villain and so the villain is not really evil.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.
Hayao Miyazaki
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
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
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
See with eyes unclouded by hate.
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
Virtual reality is a denial of reality. We need to be open to the powers of imagination, which brings something useful to reality. Virtual reality can imprison people.
Hayao Miyazaki
I find it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I like to go on extended vacations from time to time.
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
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki
The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.
Hayao Miyazaki
