Image
The mind is the pilot. We think of things before the body does them.
Walt Disney
Image
Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience.
Walt Disney
Image
Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well, I won't do that.
Walt Disney

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
Walt Disney
Image
Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature.
Walt Disney
Image
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
Walt Disney
Image
Fantasy and reality often overlap.
Walt Disney
Image
The difference in winning & losing is most often, not quitting.
Walt Disney

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
Image
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.

I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place...
Walt Disney
Image
Besides, you don't work for a dollar - you work to create and have fun.
Walt Disney
Image
When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn't realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.
Walt Disney
Image
All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
Image
I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.
Walt Disney
Image
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.
Walt Disney
Image
In most instances, the driving force behind the action is the mood, the personality, the attitude of the character - or all three. Therefore, the mind is the pilot. We think of things before the body does them.
Walt Disney
Image
The way I see it, Disneyland will never be finished.
Walt Disney
Image
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Walt Disney

Over at our place, we’re sure of just one thing: everybody in the world was once a child. So in planning a new picture, we don’t think of grown-ups, and we don’t think of children. But just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us, that maybe the world has made us forget.
