More quotes by Walt Disney
There is a natural hootchy-kootchy motion to a goldfish.
Walt Disney
Happiness is a state of mind. It's just according to the way you look at things.
Walt Disney
Money-or rather the lack of it to carry out my ideas-may worry me, but it does not excite me.
Walt Disney
When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human and that is the secret of his popularity.
Walt Disney
In most instances, the driving force behind the action is the mood, the personality, the attitude of the character - or all three. Therefore, the mind is the pilot. We think of things before the body does them.
Walt Disney
In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living showing it that laughter is healthy showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.
Walt Disney
Growing up isn't simply getting old... Growing up is when you don't believe anymore.
Walt Disney
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island...
Walt Disney
I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral.
Walt Disney
Disneyland really began when my two daughters were very young. Saturday was always Daddy's Day and I would take them to the merry-go-round, and sit on a bench eating peanuts while they rode. And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.
Walt Disney
Movies are a medium of expression like a symphony orchestra...or a painter's brush and canvas.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
Walt Disney
Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what outside, but what is inside that counts.
Walt Disney
People look at you and me to see what they are supposed to be. And, if we don't disappoint them, maybe, just maybe, they won't disappoint us.
Walt Disney
I function better when things are going badly than when they're as smooth as whipped cream.
Walt Disney
Adults are only kids grown up
Walt Disney
A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.
Walt Disney
Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature.
Walt Disney
Part of the Disney success is our ability to create a believable world of dreams that appeals to all age groups. The kind of entertainment we create is meant to appeal to every member of the family.
Walt Disney
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
