If you can dream it, you can do it.
Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life... it's money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.
I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
I never called my work an 'art' It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.
I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.
I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company.
You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
I believe in being an innovator.
