“Stories keep the world intact. Storytelling predates the written word by more than 3,000 years. Fairy Tales, specifically, have always protested against societal constraints & commented on the human condition. Fairy Tales offer whimsy & truth - the whimsy makes us brave & the truth points us in the right direction.”

“Don't you think that's a disease of the contemporary age? It feels like these days our value is determined by how much effort we make from day to day. That matters even more than our results. After a while, the concept of effort starts to become mixed up with things feeling difficult, and then you reach the point where the person seen as the most admirable is the one suffering the most. I think that's the reason people are so vicious towards Manako Kajii. She refuses to live that life, refuses to suffer.”
