More quotes by Walt Disney
We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin - a little fellow trying to do the best he could.
Walt Disney
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt Disney
Childishness? I think it's the equivalent of never losing your sense of humor. I mean, yes there's a certain something that you retain. It's the equivalent of not getting so stuffy that you can't laugh at others.
Walt Disney
Why worry? If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better
Walt Disney
When I was a kid, a book I read advised young artist to be themselves. That decided it for me. I was a corny kind of guy, so I went in for corn.
Walt Disney
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
Walt Disney
Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's done right.
Walt Disney
It's always a challenge bringing a great story classic to the screen. Giving visual form to the characters and places that have only existed in the imagination. But it's the kind of challenge we enjoy.
Walt Disney
Ideas come from curiosity.
Walt Disney
We grew to our present size almost against ourselves. It was not a deliberately planned commercial venture in the sense that I sat down and said that we were going to make ourselves into a huge financial octopus. We evolved by necessity. We did not sit down and say to ourselves, 'How can we make a big pile of dough?' It just happened.
Walt Disney
Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it.
Walt Disney
Being a celebrity doesn't even seem to keep the fleas off our dogs — and if being a celebrity won't give me an advantage over a couple of fleas, then I guess there can't be much in being a celebrity after all.
Walt Disney
Frying pans! Who knew, right?
Walt Disney
Happiness is a state of mind.
Walt Disney
I never intended to make art.
Walt Disney
I do not want to make teaching films. If I did, I would create a separate organization. It is not higher education that interests me so much as general mass education.
Walt Disney
Here in Florida, we have something special we never enjoyed at Disneyland: the blessing of size. There's enough land here to hold all of the ideas and plans we can possibly imagine.
Walt Disney
Many hands and hearts and minds generally contribute to anyone's notable achievements.
Walt Disney
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
Walt Disney
Now when we opened Disneyland, outer space was Buck Rogers.
Walt Disney
