More quotes by 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
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
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
Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. [. . . ] You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!
Walt Disney
Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is like a piece of clay: If there is something I don't like, I'm not stuck with it. I can reshape and revamp.
Walt Disney
Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.
Walt Disney
Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job.
Walt Disney
Growing up isn't simply getting old... Growing up is when you don't believe anymore.
Walt Disney
Faith. Trust. and Pixie Dust.
Walt Disney
I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.
Walt Disney
The worst of us is not without innocence, although buried deeply it might be.
Walt Disney
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.
Walt Disney
When we do fantasy, we must not lose sight of reality.
Walt Disney
Money doesn't excite me - my ideas excite me.
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. With the laugh comes the tears and in developing motion pictures or television shows, you must combine all the facts of life - drama, pathos and humor.
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've always been bored with just making money. I've wanted to do things I wanted to build things, to get something going. What money meant to me was that I was able to get money to do that for me.
Walt Disney
That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.
Walt Disney
Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.
Walt Disney
