We've got to fight against bigness. If a school gets too large, you lose an intimacy with the students they begin to feel they're just part of a big complex. I don't think you can create too well in a big plant. That's why I always tried to avoid bigness in the studio.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
Walt Disney
Image
I just make what I like - warm and human stories, ones about historic characters and events, and about animals. If there is a secret, I guess it's that I never make the pictures too childish, but always try to get in a little satire of adult foibles.

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
Walt Disney
Image
In my view, wholesome pleasure, sport, and recreation are as vital to this nation as productive work and should have a large share in the national budget.

If we didn't have deadlines, we'd stagnate.

I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment.

My business is making people, especially children, happy. I have dedicated much of my time to a study of the problems of children.

I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land - no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships - just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees.

People often ask me if I know the secret of success and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true. My answer is, you do it by working.
Walt Disney
Image
That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.
Walt Disney
Image
I function better when things are going badly than when they're as smooth as whipped cream.
Walt Disney
Image
Do what you do so well that those who see you do what you do are going to come back to see you do it again and tell others that they should see you do what you do.
Walt Disney
Image
People still think of me as a cartoonist, but the only thing I lift a pen or pencil for these days is to sign a contract, a check, or an autograph.
Walt Disney

If you can visualize it, if you can dream it, there's some way to do it.
Walt Disney
Image
Art was always a means to an end with me. You get an idea, and you just can't wait. Once you've started, then you're in there with the punches flying. There's plenty of trouble, but you can handle it. You can't back out. It gets you down once in a while, but it's exciting. Our whole business is exciting.

Fear too often spells failure.

The difference in winning & losing is most often, not quitting.
Walt Disney

Disneyland is something that will never be finished. It's something that I can keep developing. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need change. A picture is a thing, once you wrap it up and turn it over to Technicolor, you're through. Snow White is a dead issue with me. But I can change the park, because it's alive.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life.
