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
A brand is a living entity-and it is enriched or undermined cumulatively over time, the product of a thousand small gestures.

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
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
We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective.
Michael Eisner
Well, when you're trying to create things that are new, you have to be prepared to be on the edge of risk.
Michael Eisner
When I read biographies, I'm only interested in the first few chapters. I'm not interested in when people become successful. I'm interested in what made them successful.
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
To this day, I fondly recall the challenges of building a fire, pitching a tent, climbing a New England mountain, canoeing on a lake. Camp songs still resonate inside me. Competition exists at Keewaydin, of course, but nobody fails summer camp, a nice respite from winters of fortune and misfortune at school.
Michael Eisner
You either play by the rules, change the rules, or get out, altogether.
