Quote

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.

There are all kinds of values within the films but I don't make message films.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
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
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.

Image
No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.

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

I find it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I like to go on extended vacations from time to time.

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.

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

Maybe that's what these films are doing. They are my way of blessing the child
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.

I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
You should despair and run away.

Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
The characters are born from repetition, from repeatedly thinking about them. I have their outline in my head. I become the character and as the character I visit the locations of the story many, many times. Only after that I start drawing the character, but again I do it many, many times, over and over. And I only finish just before the deadline.

Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.

Airplanes are the most beautiful when they are in the air.

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.
