“Whenever someone creates something with all of their heart, then that creation is given a soul.”

I intend to work until the day I die.

Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves.

Sometimes I test myself saying, ‘If I get a death sentence if I don’t make this movie, would I still make this movie?

Prizes do not mean anything to me.

Producing an animation series merely to fill time slots in the broadcast schedule is like generating cultural pollution.

We live in an age when it is cheaper to buy the rights to movies than to make them.

Life is a winking light in the darkness.

There cannot be a happy ending to the fight between the raging gods and humans.

Whoever falls, hatred will breed hatred.

Logic is using the front part of the brain, that’s all.

Once you have met someone, you never really forget them.

You 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.

In the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way.

Virtual reality is a denial of reality.

Currently computer graphics are used a great deal, but it can be excessive.

I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live.

In the 1970s, for example, I found myself learning to relish the poetry of Andrew Marvell and Sir Thomas Wyatt, and getting a handle on poetry of plainer speech than I had dwelt with heretofore.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: “God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen.”

Our lives are filled with meeting wonderful people. Make sure those that have become a part of your life hear your words of appreciation.

In the first way he sees in what surrounds him things to be handled, forces to be managed, objects to be put to use.

Mankind will not perish for want of information; but only for want of appreciation.

No one who appreciates the shortness of this life and the eternality of the next can ever say, ‘I’m bored’

Mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation.

People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained.
