Trivia

Quotes
  • I can only work realistically while wanting to depict something unrealistic.
    (imdb.com)
  • I don`t think about the audience, I don`t think about what makes them happy, because there`s no way for me to know. To try to think of what makes for entertainment is a very Japanese thing. The people who think like this are old-fashioned. They think of the audience as a mass, but in fact every person in the audience is different. So entertainment for everyone doesn`t exist.
    (imdb.com)
  • Of course it`s hard working with a very tight schedule for filming, but once you become used to it, having more time and more margin means you can really make good use of it. Though I would probably waste it by sleeping and amusing myself.
    (imdb.com)
  • I became a director because I didn`t have another choice. I dreamed of becoming a motorbike racer because I love motorbikes a lot. I think anyone can become a director, especially if you have money. Even Haruki Kadokawa became a director. To become a famous musician is also a way to become a director and like Takeshi Kitano achieving fame as a comedian and then becoming a director gives you a lot of freedom. There are so many ways to become a director. If there is a 1 - 10 scale for talent, then a 10 point talent is a director, but a 1 point person can also become a director if he has the talent to make the right contacts. In motorbike racing on the other hand the winner is always an extreme talent. Even if we train a lot we can`t beat them. I admire that kind of world. But I didn`t have a choice. I never thought about becoming a director before. I considered the occupation of film director as being for the intelligentsia.
    (imdb.com)
  • I don`t make rules myself. I didn`t study enough to be able to make them. I`m too stupid. I spend my whole life making movies, so I have to enjoy it. Even at times when we had a very tight and difficult schedule, it was always enjoyable. Of course I wonder if the film will be successful afterwards. It`s wonderful if a film becomes successful as a result of the enjoyment that we had.
    (imdb.com)
  • I`m happy that my films were discovered by chance by foreign film festivals. That makes me realise more that there is a world outside Japan too. For me, it`s an occasion to meet many people and to experience directly the response of international audiences to my films. But for me as a director, my attitude towards making films hasn`t changed with the fame. I feel it`s not good to change as a person anyway.
    (imdb.com)
  • I just don`t understand people who would walk out on a movie.
    (imdb.com)
    Trivia
  • Speaks no English, but did his cameo in Hostel (2005) in English for Eli Roth, of whom he is a fan. His character in the end credits is listed as "Miike Takashi."
    (imdb.com)
  • His last name is pronounced "MEE-KAY."
