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.

I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.
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
No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.
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
It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.
Hayao Miyazaki
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I don't intentionally make deep movies.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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
Image
I wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.
Hayao Miyazaki

Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.
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.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
My process is thinking, thinking and thinking - thinking about my stories for a long time.

Image
Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
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.

Airplanes are the most beautiful when they are in the air.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
But remember this, Japanese boy... airplanes are not tools for war. They are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
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
Image
I think talent decides everything. More than the method, what's important is the talent using it. There's nothing inherently wrong or right about a method, whether it be pencil drawings or 3-D CG. Pencil drawings don't have to go away, but those who continue to use the medium lack talent. So sadly, it will fade away.
