We Get Strength And Encouragement

I Try To Dig Deep Into The Well Of My Subconscious. At A Certain Moment In That Process, The Lid Is Opened And Very Different Ideas And Visions Are Liberated. With Those I Can Start Making A Film. But Maybe It's Better That You Don't Open That Lid Completely, Because If You Release Your Subconscious It Becomes Really Hard To Live A Social Or Family Life.

The Principle I Adhere To When Directing, Is That I Make Good Use Of Everything My Staff Creates. Even If They Make Foregrounds That Don't Quite Fit With My Backgrounds, I Never Waste It And Try To Find The Best Use For It.

Plants Exist In The Weather And Light Rays That Surround Them - Waving In The Wind, Shimmering In The Sunlight. I Am Always Puzzling Over How To Draw Such Things.

Virtual Reality Is A Denial Of Reality. We Need To Be Open To The Powers Of Imagination, Which Brings Something Useful To Reality. Virtual Reality Can Imprison People.

I Intend To Work Until The Day I Die. I Retired From Feature-length Films But Not From Animation. Self-indulgent Animation. It's Nice That I Have The Mini-theater In The Museum. Most Of The Museum Visitors Attend The Mini-theater Screenings And We've Never Had A Complaint About The Quality Of The Films. I'd Like To Continue To Make Films That Leave The Audience Satisfied, But I Also Think It's Pointless Unless I Offer Them The Kind Of Animation They Can't Get Anywhere Else. They're Fun To Do. They're Short So It's Less Stressful.
