Engineers turn dreams into reality.
We get strength and encouragement from watching children.
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.
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 am an animator. I feel like I'm the manager of a animation cinema factory. I am not an executive. I'm rather like a foreman, like the boss of a team of craftsmen. That is the spirit of how I work.
It would be wonderful if I could see the end of civilization during my lifetime.
Do everything by hand, even when using the computer.
I'd like more of the world go back to being wild.
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.

Since I am a person who starts work without clear knowledge of a storyline, every single scene is a pivotal scene.
