I am concerned that a film without an large advertising [budget] can not establish a connection with contemporary audiences, of course.

Without doubt, in animation each frame is important, every movement defines the character.

I am fairly optimistic about the disillusionment that produces homogeneity in general. The films that succeed in [theaters] are fairly homogeneous in terms of narrative and vision of the world.

The consumption of information, films, music has been changing in recent decades. It's hard to know what will become the film that can not easily reach [audiences].

I write about what I know and also what I don't understand. Emotions for what has transpired.

Emotion and thinking are not distinct substances.

My love of storytelling comes from oral tradition, the stories from my grandmother and conversations with [my] mother. The world is full of discussions of condensation, drifts, misunderstanding, repetition. These are the materials I work with. My debt is to these women.
