I like underwater life.

I've never studied psychology.

See with eyes unclouded by hate.

You should despair and run away.

All my films are all my children.

Engineers turn dreams into reality.

I don't intentionally make deep movies.

Life is a winking light in the darkness.

I get inspiration from my everyday life.

If you're going to retire, retire early.

Reality is for people that lack imagination.

Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.

I'd like more of the world go back to being wild.

Do everything by hand, even when using the computer.

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

Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.

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

We get strength and encouragement from watching children.

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

Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves.

Those are shrines. Some people believe spirits live in them.

We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.

In order to grow your audience, you must betray their expectations.

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

Chihiro, huh? Her real name's Chihiro? Can't beat the power of love.

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

I wanted to convey the message to children that this life is worth living.

Currently computer graphics are used a great deal, but it can be excessive.

I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.

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

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

The love of weaponry is often a manifestation of infantile traits in an adult.

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

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

It would be wonderful if I could see the end of civilization during my lifetime.

Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.

We live in an age when it is cheaper to buy the rights to movies than to make them.

I'm not going to make movies that tell children, "You should despair and run away".

My process is thinking, thinking and thinking - thinking about my stories for a long time.

Actually I think CGI has the potential to equal or even surpass what the human hand can do.

People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.

I never read reviews. I'm not interested. But I value a lot the reactions of the spectators.

Whenever someone creates something with all of their heart, then that creation is given a soul.

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

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

I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.
