More quotes by Michael Eisner
I gravitate toward the team thing. I'm not a golfer - I much prefer basketball.
Michael Eisner
It doesn't matter whether it comes in by cable, telephone lines, computor, or satellite. Everyone's going to have to deal with Disney.
Michael Eisner
I always went into an area that was in last place, with a philosophy, 'You can't fall off the floor.' And I was lucky, was at the right time and the right place, with the right ideas, and each one of these areas became number one.
Michael Eisner
If you're really good, you should express yourself...a lot.
Michael Eisner

We all know that the Disney brand is our most valuable asset. It is the sum total of our seventy-five years in business, of our reputation, of everything that we stand for.
Michael Eisner
I'm not sure I was a typical head of a company. Most people that run big companies come out of sales and they come out of marketing and they're quite serious and they have MBA's from very good schools and things like that. I'm an accidental CEO, thank the Disney Company.
Michael Eisner
There's a fine line between what would characterize you as a troglodyte and what would characterize you as a brilliant, avant-garde, forward-thinking genius. There's some middle ground.
Michael Eisner
Doing stuff that I don't have to talk about because I'm not in a public company is fantastic.
Michael Eisner
My best idea was to not accept my wife's negative reaction when I asked her to marry me.
Michael Eisner
21 years as CEO is a long time. I was and probably still am the longest serving CEO in America. Certainly I am in the media industry, bar none.
Michael Eisner
Management is not a science, it is an art.
Michael Eisner
My strength is coming up with two outs in the last of the ninth.

Graduate school is a place to hide for a couple of years.
