I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.

More quotes by Walt Disney
Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
Walt Disney
We have always tried to be guided by the basic idea that, in the discovery of knowledge, there is great entertainment - as, conversely, in all good entertainment, there is always some grain of wisdom, humanity, or enlightenment to be gained.
Walt Disney
Never put business before family.
Walt Disney
All you've got to do is own up to your ignorance honestly, and you'll find people who are eager to fill your head with information.
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
I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.
Walt Disney
Family fun is as necessary to modern living as a kitchen refrigerator.
Walt Disney
To some people, I am kind of a Merlin who takes lots of crazy chances, but rarely makes mistakes. I've made some bad ones, but fortunately, the successes have come along fast enough to cover up the mistakes. When you go to bat as many times as I do, and continually improve upon your mistakes, you're bound to get a good average.
Walt Disney
We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.
Walt Disney
Fantasy and reality often overlap.
Walt Disney
You reach a point where you don't work for money.
Walt Disney
Never get bored or cynical. Yesterday is a thing of the past.
Walt Disney
I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they're in another world.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.
Walt Disney
We love to entertain kings and queens, but at Disneyland, everyone is a V.I.P.
Walt Disney
I think a good study of music would be indispensable to the animators - a realization on their part of how primitive music is, how natural it is for people to want to go to music - a study of rhythm, the dance - the various rhythms enter into our lives every day.
Walt Disney
When we do fantasy, we must not lose sight of reality.
Walt Disney
I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.
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
Faith. Trust. and Pixie Dust.
Walt Disney
