Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.

There are scenes that were right on the edge, but I always try to err on non-indulgence. It's something that I'm very careful about, that I'm just leaning too hard into something.

Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.

I find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.

My directing style is long takes. The longer take I can do, the more I can think of not doing it in cuts, the better.

I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.

There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.
