Princess Mononoke

"To see with eyes unclouded by hate."

"You would do that kill the very heart of the forest."

"I hate him! I hate all humans!"

"[furiously] "Quiet! Watch what you say, you filthy pig!""

"[annoyed, referring to Lady Eboshi] "Ugh, it's that damn woman again.""

"Lord Okkoto, you must stop! They aren't your warriors, don't you understand?"

"No! I don't wanna become a demon!"

"[voice breaking] "You’re on their side. You always were"."

"Ashitaka, you mean so much to me, but I can't forgive the humans for what they've done."

"I'm not afraid to die, and I'd do anything to get humans out of my forest"

"This is my garden. None of the townspeople dare to come here."

"Now watch closely, everyone. I'm going to show you how to kill a god. A god of life and death. The trick is not to fear him."

"Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite."

"The sooner we get this rice home, the sooner we'll eat! Let's move!"

"YOU WILL DIE!"

"I was hoping you'd cry out in your sleep. Then I would have bitten your head off to silence you."

"I caught her human parents defiling my forest. They threw their baby at my feet as they ran away. Instead of eating her, I raised her as my own."

"Typical. Selfish. You think like a human."

"Silence, boy! How dare you speak to a god like that!"

"[to the boars] "You cannot win against the humans. Their guns will destroy you all.""

"You'd risk everything on one last battle. That's just what the humans want."

"[about the Okkoto/Okkotonushi] "Don't touch him. He's no longer a god.""

"I was saving my energy to bite off that damn woman's head...but I must save San."

""Now my poor, ugly, beautiful daughter is neither wolf, nor human. She lives with the forest, and so too will die with the forest."

"Give me back my daughter, demon!"

"The trees cry out as they die, but you cannot hear them. I lie here. I listen to the pain of the forest and feel the ache of the bullet in my chest, and I dream of the day I will finally crunch that gun-woman's head in my jaws."

"[to the boars] "Humans are everywhere these days. Go back to your mountain. Kill them there.""

"[last words] "Ashitaka...can you save the girl you love?""

"When you're going to kill a god, let someone else do your dirty work."

"So you say you're under a curse? Well so what. So's the whole damn world."

"Well, I give up. You just can't win against fools."

"Relax, kid, I have bigger fish to fry. Your secret's safe with me."

"This soup is donkey piss!"

"Are you selling donkey piss?"

"Kid, listen, everybody wants to have everything in life, and now I might actually get it!"

"Nago: Disgusting little creatures. Soon, all of you will feel my hate, and suffer as I have suffered."

"Wise Woman of the Emishi: You cannot alter your fate, my prince. However, you can rise to meet it if you choose."

"Kohroku: Huh...I never knew the forest god made the flowers grow."

"Kohroku: My arm, it doesn't hurt. IT'S HEALED!!! [stretches his arm and it cracks] Argh, no, it's still broken."

"Toki: You scared me half to death! Don't you 'little flower' me!"

"Toki: Oh, that's all right. Milady, if you hadn't been there, the wolves would have eaten everyone, and then we'd all have to find ourselves new husbands."

"Town's woman: You want some of our iron? Here you go! [shoots at the ground near horseman]"

"Leper: [a piece of the wooden wall is removed. A cannon and a head is seen. It fires at a boat, knocking a man off and almost upsetting the boat] Ha ha. I missed. They're bringing boats across the river!"

"Kaiya: [giving Ashitaka her crystal dagger] No, I want you to keep it, so you won't forget your little sister."

"Moro's Cub 1: [to a member of the Ape Tribe, who want he, his brother, and San to leave Ashitaka for them to eat] You go, before my fangs find you!"

"Moro's Cub 1: [To Ashitaka] You're too slow! Get on!"

"Osa: [To Ashitaka] Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living."

"Ashitaka is not a cheerful, worry-free boy. He is a melancholy boy who has a fate. I feel that I am that way myself, but until now, I have not made a film with such a character. Ashitaka was cursed for a very absurd reason. Sure, Ashitaka did something he should not have done - killing Tatari Gami. But there was enough reason to do so from the humans' viewpoint. Nevertheless, he received a deadly curse. I think that is similar to the lives of people today. I think this is a very absurd thing that is part of life itself."

"It's not that I wanted to make it modern. It's just that depicting Tatara Ba under the rule of men would be boring. And if I made the boss of Tatara Ba a man, he would be a manager, not a revolutionary. If it's a woman, she becomes a revolutionary, even if she is doing the same thing."

"In this film, Shishi Gami is not a gentle creature who gives blessings. I depicted it as a low-ranked god. There are legends of giants, such as Didarabocchi or Daidarabou, but we don't know why they exist. So, I just decided, "it's nature's night, given form," and then, I was able to convince myself (laughs). I just thought, the creature is gathering and giving out lives during the night. So that's why I gave it different shapes during the day and the night. I just dreamed up that it is such a creature (laughs). So, it wanders from forest to forest during the night."
