I just want it to look like nothing else in the world. And it should be surrounded by a train.
Walt Disney
Image
You don't build it for yourself. You know what the people want and you build it for them.
Walt Disney
Image
Money doesn't excite me - my ideas excite me.
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.
Walt Disney

Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America...
Walt Disney
Image
The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil...
Walt Disney

Animals have personalities like people and must be studied.

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.
Walt Disney

Forever is a long long time and time has a way of changing things.
Walt Disney
Image
I think of a child's mind as a blank book. During the first years of his life, much will be written on the pages. The quality of that writing will affect his life profoundly.
Walt Disney
Image
That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up.
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
In bad times and in good I've never lost my sense of zest for life.
Walt Disney
Image
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
Walt Disney
Image
Fantasy, if it's really convincing, can't become dated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time.
Walt Disney
Image
You're flying Buzz! No Woody we're falling in style!
Walt Disney
Image
All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.
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
Every man is captain of his career and there must be cooperation all around if he is to get what he wants out of life.
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.
Walt Disney
