The concept of Paprika is amazing—she's literally the woman of your dreams, the one you keep imagining. Satoshi Kon was so fortunate to have such a theme to work with.
One of the interesting things about Satoshi Kon's death was that he was able to write a lot before passing—a lot of "goodbyes." A funny thing he mentioned was that at a certain stage of his illness, he started experiencing hallucinations, and he even commented on how unoriginal it was, making a reference to his own directing style.
As I thought that, something moved out from the calendar on the wall and started to spread around the room.
"Oh dear, a line marching out from the calendar. My hallucinations aren't at all original."
I had to smile at the fact at my professional instincts were working even at times like this, but in any case I was probably the nearest to the land of the dead that I'd ever been at that point. I really felt death very close to me. [But] with the help of many people, I miraculously escaped Musashino Red Cross and came back home, wrapped up in the land of the dead and bedsheets.
