I would like to make a film to tell children it's good to be alive.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

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.

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.

The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.
Hayao Miyazaki

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.

Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.

If [hand-drawn animation] is a dying craft, we can't do anything about it. Civilization moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able to do the same job for 40 years. That's rare in any era.

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.

You should despair and run away.

Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.

Life is a winking light in the darkness.
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.

Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.

Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.

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.

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