Well, yes. I believe that children's souls are the inheritors of historical memory from previous generations. It's just that as they grow older and experience the everyday world that memory sinks lower and lower. I feel I need to make a film that reaches down to that level. If I could do that I would die happy.
Hayao MiyazakiYou must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.
Hayao MiyazakiIโd like to see Manhattan underwater. Iโd like to see when the human population plummets and there are no more high rises, because nobodyโs buying them. Iโm excited about that. Money and desireโall that is going to collapse, and wild green grasses are going to take over.
