I've Never Studied Psychology.

I Don't Have The Story Finished And Ready When We Start Work On A Film. I Usually Don't Have The Time. So The Story Develops When I Start Drawing Storyboards. I Never Know Where The Story Will Go But I Just Keeping Working On The Film As It Develops. It's A Dangerous Way To Make An Animation Film And I Would Like It To Be Different, But Unfortunately, That's The Way I Work And Everyone Else Is Kind Of Forced To Subject Themselves To It.

I Managed To Work For More Than 50 Years With Just Paper, Pencils And Film. My Son's Generation And The One Coming Up After Can't Work With Just Paper And Pencils Any More. I Managed To Avoid Using A Computer. I Don't Even Have A Cellphone. I Feel Lucky I Managed To Live Like That.

I Believe Nostalgia Has Many Appearances And That It's Not Just The Privilege Of Adults. I Think Children Too Can Have Nostalgia. It's One Of Mankind's Most Shared Emotions. It's One Of The Things That Makes Us Human. When You Live, You Lose Things. It's A Fact Of Life. So It's Natural For Everyone To Have Nostalgia.

At The Time, Sword And Sorcery Stories Were Quite Popular. There Were Female Warriors Waving Swords Around As Well, But The Genre Is Populated Entirely With People Who Have Absolutely No Responsibility To Anyone, So I Knew My Story Would Have To Be Completely Different From Any Of These.

I Don't Intentionally Make Deep Movies.
