We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public.
All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with 'expressing' myself with obscure creative impressions.
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.
We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year.
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
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.
Or heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.
When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.
Here in Florida, we have something special we never enjoyed at Disneyland...the blessing of size.
There's enough land here to hold all the ideas and plans we can possibly imagine.
I believe in being an innovator.
Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.
I'm not interested in pleasing the critics. I'll take my chances pleasing the audiences.
When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.
Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.
Your dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
A man should never neglect his family for business.
