We Depict Hatred, But It Is To

I Believe That Fantasy In The Meaning Of Imagination Is Very Important. We Shouldn't Stick Too Close To Everyday Reality But Give Room To The Reality Of The Heart, Of The Mind, And Of The Imagination.

I Can't Stand Modern Movies. The Images Are Too Weird And Eccentric For Me.

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.

Personally I Am Very Pessimistic. But When, For Instance, One Of My Staff Has A Baby You Can't Help But Bless Them For A Good Future. Because I Can't Tell That Child, 'oh, You Shouldn't Have Come Into This Life.' And Yet I Know The World Is Heading In A Bad Direction. So With Those Conflicting Thoughts In Mind, I Think About What Kind Of Films I Should Be Making.

To Be Born Means Being Compelled To Choose An Era, A Place, A Life. To Exist Here, Now, Means To Lost The Possibility Of Being Countless Other Potential Selves.. Yet Once Being Born There Is No Turning Back. And I Think That's Exactly Why The Fantasy Worlds Of Cartoon Movies So Strongly Represent Our Hopes And Yearnings. They Illustrate A World Of Lost Possibilities For Us.
