I Don't Intentionally Make Deep Movies.

You Always Have To Appeal To Your Audience. You Always Have To Consider How Well Your Project Will Do In Terms Of Admissions. I Abandoned Many Stories Because Of That. But I Don't Get Too Down About It. It's Something I Accepted From The Time I Decided To Work In Films.

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

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.

I Wanted To Convey The Message To Children That This Life Is Worth Living.

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.
