Well...he might not.

Is there some info behind this or is it wishful thinking?

No new info, just that he's said he was going to retire before and didn't. So...the latter, yeah.

Have a Miyazaki Marathon! One of my friends and I watched most of his movies every night until we'd watched them all (basically everything from Nausicaa through Howl's minus Porco Rosso) and it was fun. (I also still need to see the Castle of Cagliostro, but I know nothing about Lupin III, so I'm not in a rush.) A few friends and I did a Ghibli fest where we watched several of Studio Ghibli's movies and I definitely recommend NOT watching them in chronological order if you do a non-stop marathon. A lot of themes get repeated and it's also nice to break up tone. Some of the older movies are more playful and some of the middle-later ones are very serious. It's good to alternate between lighthearted and serious just for sanity's sake.
Personally I need to watch more of the non-Miyazaki ones. The only ones I've seen is Whisper of the Heart (good), Tales of Earthsea (blah), and The Secret World of Arietty (it was ok). I've heard Grave of the Fireflies is good and From Up on Poppy Hill is supposed to be good. I saw a clip of the animation from The Tale of Princess Kaguya and it looks gorgeous, so hopefully when it's released here, it'll be shown at the local theater who shows most of Ghibli's movies. And I want to see When Marnie Was There. And obviously I'd like to watch all of the others at least once, but I think the ones I mentioned are my personal priority.
TL;DR: Just watch them all. It's worth it.
GarandMarine:
Watch Grave of the Fireflies as a double feature with something upbeat and cheerful. It'll punch a hole in your soul otherwise. That anime's brutal.
hedgie:
IIRC, that's why in Japan they put it on a double feature with Tonari no Totoro upon release. Of course, Grave of the Fireflies was Takahata and not Miyazaki.
GarandMarine:
Yep. I was going to say do Totoro, but most of the thread has seen it, and I sometimes dislike matching up someone else's billing...
