“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

“[on the future of hand-drawn animation] I'm actually not that worried. I wouldn't give up on it completely. Once in a while there are strange, rich people who like to invest in odd things. You're going to have people in the corners of garages making cartoons to please themselves. And I'm more interested in those people than I am in big business.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

“In my grandparents' time, it was believed that spirits existed everywhere...in trees, rivers, insects, wells, anything... 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.”
― Hayao Miyazaki
