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
I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty.
Walt Disney

Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching.

Money doesn't excite me - my ideas excite me.

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.

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.

When you go to bat as many times as I do, you're bound to get a good average. That's why I keep my projects diversified.
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
Image
Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination.
Walt Disney
Image
A prayer, it seems to me, implies a promise as well as a request at the highest level, prayer not only is a supplication for strength and guidance, but also becomes an affirmation of life and thus a reverent praise of God.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't know if it's art, but I know I like it.
Walt Disney
Image
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Walt Disney
Image
Without such inspiration, we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish.
Walt Disney
Image
It's because I like you, I don't want to be with you. It's a complicated emotion.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment.
Walt Disney

Just remember, it all started with a mouse.

its fun to do the unexpected.
