Walt Disney's quotes

I don't make pictures just to make money. I make money to make more pictures.
I'd rather entertain and hope that people learn, than teach and hope that people are entertained.
I'm not interested in pleasing the critics. I'll take my chances pleasing the audiences.
I hope we'll never lose sight of one thing--that it was all started by a mouse.
I happen to be an inquisitive guy and when I see things I don't like, I start thinking why do they have to be like this and how can I improve them.
It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
in the book "The Humour of Sex" by Robert Hale] I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known.
People like to think their world is somehow more grown up than Papa's was.
I sell corn, and I love corn.
You know, every once in a while I just fire everybody, then I hire them back in a couple of weeks. That way they don't get too complacent. It keeps them on their toes.
[to director Richard Fleischer, who made 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) for Disney, on how to be successful] Well, then, why don't you do as I do? Let somebody else do all the work and you take all the credit.
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Every time they make a pornographic film, I make money.
I think the picture would have done better with a different title. Girls and women went to it, but men tended to stay away because it sounded sweet and sticky. - On Pollyanna (1960)

We don't make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies.
[Being a celebrity] doesn't even seem to keep the fleas off our dogs - and if being a celebrity won't give me an advantage over a couple of fleas, then I guess there can't be much in being a celebrity after all.
I believe in the family unit. I believe in the family having fun together, enjoying things together, which is what Disneyland is.
We don't actually make films for children, but we make films that children can enjoy along with the parents.
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
I don't like to repeat successes. I like to go on to other things.
