Quote

Biggest problem? Well, I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life. MONEY. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem. Getting the money to open Disneyland. About seventeen million it took. And we had everything mortgaged including my personal insurance.

It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Image
My persistence is the measure of the belief I have in myself.
Walt Disney
Image
No matter what the provocation, I never fire a man who is honestly trying to deliver a job. Few workers who become established at the Disney Studio ever leave voluntarily or otherwise, and many have been on the payroll all their working lives.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean.
Walt Disney
Image
Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job.
Walt Disney
Image
We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year.
Walt Disney
Image
One thing it takes to accomplish something is courage.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't have depressed moods. I'm happy, just very, very happy.
Walt Disney
Image
The sky has never been the limit. We are our own limits. It's then about breaking our personal limits and outgrowing ourselves to live our best lives. All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me.
Walt Disney
Image
Faith. Trust. and Pixie Dust.
Walt Disney
Image
If I depended on critics and children to make a living I'd grow broke.
Walt Disney
Image
No one person can take credit for the success of a motion picture. It's strictly a team effort. From the time the story is written to the time the final release print comes off the printer, hundreds of people are involved - each one doing a job - each job contributing to the final product.
Walt Disney
Image
The fun is in always building something. After it's built, you play with it awhile and then you're through. You see, we never do the same thing twice around here. We're always opening up new doors.
Walt Disney
Image
There is a natural hootchy-kootchy motion to a goldfish.
Walt Disney
Image
In bad times and in good I've never lost my sense of zest for life.
Walt Disney
Image
Those who are clever, who have a brain, never understand anything.
Walt Disney
Image
Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed.
Walt Disney
Image
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.

I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
