Disneyland is a work of love...Drawing up plans and dreaming of what I could do, everything. It was just something I kind of kept playing around with.
Walt Disney

I function better when things are going badly than when they're as smooth as whipped cream.
Walt Disney
Image
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
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.

Many hands and hearts and minds generally contribute to anyone's notable achievements.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland is not just another amusement park. It's unique, and I want it kept that way. Besides, you don't work for a dollar - you work to create and have fun.

Image
We like to have a point of view in our stories, not an obvious moral, but a worthwhile theme. ... All we are trying to do is give the public good entertainment. That is all they want.
Walt Disney

When I started on Disneyland, my wife used to say, But why do you want to build an amusement park? They're so dirty. I told her that was just the point - mine wouldn't be.
Walt Disney
Image
I am in no sense of the word a great artist, not even a great animator I have always had men working for me whose skills were greater than my own. I am an idea man.
Walt Disney
Image
I wanted to retain my individuality. I was afraid of being hampered by studio policies. I knew if someone else got control, I would be restrained.
Walt Disney
Image
What seems real to the mind can be as important as any material fact. We live by the spirit and the imagination as well as by our senses. Cartoon animation can give fantasy the same reality as those things we can touch and see and hear.
Walt Disney
Image
Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
Walt Disney
Image
I happen to be kind of an inquisitive guy and when I see things I don't like, I start thinking, why do they have to be like this and how can I improve them?
Walt Disney
Image
Just make sure you never do less than your best
Walt Disney
Image
God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily. The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
Walt Disney

It is good to have a failure while you're young because it teaches you so much. For one thing it makes you aware that such a thing can happen to anybody, and once you've lived through the worst, you're never quite as vulnerable afterward.
Walt Disney
Image
Curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

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.
