I Like Underwater Life.

Do Everything By Hand, Even When Using The Computer.

Many Of My Movies Have Strong Female Leads - Brave, Self-sufficient Girls That Don't Think Twice About Fighting For What They Believe In With All Their Heart. They'll Need A Friend, Or A Supporter, But Never A Savior. Any Woman Is Just As Capable Of Being A Hero As Any Man.

Modern Life Is So Thin And Shallow And Fake. I Look Forward To When Developers Go Bankrupt, Japan Gets Poorer And Wild Grasses Take Over.

Its Not A Story In Which The Characters Grow Up, But A Story In Which They Draw On Something Already Inside Them, Brought Out By The Particular Circumstances. I Want My Young Friends To Live Like That, And I Think They, Too, Have Such A Wish.

The Single Difference Between Films For Children And Films For Adults Is That In Films For Children, There Is Always The Option To Start Again, To Create A New Beginning. In Films For Adults, There Are No Ways To Change Things. What Happened, Happened.
