We don’t make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies.

Walt Disney

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. We did not sit down and say to ourselves, ‘How can we make a big pile of dough?’ It just happened.

We have always tried to be guided by the basic idea that, in the discovery of knowledge, there is great entertainment – as, conversely, in all good entertainment, there is always some grain of wisdom, humanity, or enlightenment to be gained.

Walt Disney

We love to entertain kings and queens, but at Disneyland, everyone is a V.I.P.

Walt Disney

Whatever we accomplish is due to the combined effort.

When I was poor living in a garage in Kansas I began to draw the mice that scampered over my desk. That is how Mickey Mouse was born.

When I’m dead I don’t want a funeral. I want people to remember me alive.

Walt Disney

When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it’s because he’s so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.

Walt Disney

When we consider a project, we really study it – not just the surface idea, but everything about it. And when we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way. We have confidence in our ability to do it right. And we work hard to do the best possible job.

Walt Disney

When we do fantasy, we must not lose sight of reality.
