=== Quotes ===
* "To some extent, all films are fiction and documentary at the same time. I have experienced to make both, and I believe there is no such thing as pure fiction or pure documentary."<ref name=":0">''The Nikkei'' [*Japan's economic newspaper] (10 October 2021)</ref>
* "The actor is acting in front of the camera. What the camera captures there is a documentary about the actors, because they're doing something which happens only once."<ref name=":0"/>
* (On the multilingual staging in ''Drive My Car'') "In a multilingual staging, of course, they're not understanding the meaning of the words. Instead, the body language and the voice tones is what becomes more important to convey those feelings or the emotional state of the respective actors. It becomes easier to focus and react. That's a nice way I look at it to get a more simple and strong performance."<ref name=":1"/>
* (On the ending of ''Drive My Car'') "Once I talked with a big fan of ''Drive My Car'' who said that it really would have been perfect without that ending. (Laugh) Well, I think maybe the reason I ended that way is to make it a bit imperfect." "In terms of the final staging of the play in applause, if I had ended the movie at that point, presumably the audience would want to do a round of applause, and it would almost be like closing of a full circle. But for me that didn't really feel like a satisfying ending. I wanted to do something a bit more disruptive, to leave some sort of break."<ref name=":1">{{Citation|title=Ryûsuke Hamaguchi on Drive My Car {{!}} NYFF59| date=30 November 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-18rVXCD1f0|language=en|access-date=17 January 2022}}</ref>
* (On the ending of ''Drive My Car'') "I have no any plans of making a sequel, but I was just sort of playing around with things at the end there. One other thing I'd like to say is that the title itself also might give a clue to how you can interpret the ending."<ref name=":1" />

==Political views==
In December 2023, alongside 50 other filmmakers, Hamaguchi signed an open letter published in ''[[Libération]]'' demanding a ceasefire and an end to the killing of civilians amid the [[Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present)|2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip]], and for a humanitarian corridor into Gaza to be established for humanitarian aid, and the release of hostages.<ref>{{cite news|date=28 December 2023|title=Gaza : des cinéastes du monde entier demandent un cessez-le-feu immédiat|url=https://www.liberation.fr/idees-et-debats/tribunes/gaza-des-cineastes-du-monde-entier-demandent-un-cessez-le-feu-immediat-20231228_WMAUSVJVLFEBNK4ME4XU3ZRU3M/|newspaper=[[Libération]]|language=fr|access-date=24 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://thefilmstage.com/claire-denis-ryusuke-hamaguchi-kiyoshi-kurosawa-christian-petzold-apichatpong-weerasethakul-more-sign-demand-for-ceasefire-in-gaza/|title=Claire Denis, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Christian Petzold, Apichatpong Weerasethakul & More Sign Demand for Ceasefire in Gaza|last=Newman|first=Nick|date=29 December 2023|website=The Film Stage|access-date=24 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=31 December 2023|title=Directors of cinema sign petition for immediate ceasefire|url=https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-780176|newspaper=[[The Jerusalem Post]]|access-date=24 January 2024}}</ref>
