Walt Disney- "When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably."
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
Walt Disney
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Walt Disney
When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. And one thing it takes to accomplish something is courage.
Walt Disney
You reach a point where you don’t work for money.
Walt Disney
When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
Walt Disney
We allow no geniuses around our Studio.
Walt Disney
I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.
Walt Disney
When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn’t realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.
Walt Disney
I never called my work an “art” It’s part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
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
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.
Walt Disney
I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with ‘expressing’ myself with obscure creative impressions.
Walt Disney
We are not trying to entertain the critics. I’ll take my chances with the public.
Walt Disney
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
Walt Disney
I don’t like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It’s just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.
Walt Disney
I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company.
Walt Disney
Whenever I go on a ride, I’m always thinking of what’s wrong with the thing and how it can be improved.
Walt Disney
The era we are living in today is a dream of coming true.
Walt Disney
Tomorrow can be a wonderful age.
Walt Disney
Your dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
Walt Disney
I have no use for people who throw there weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
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.
Walt Disney
A man should never neglect his family for business.
Walt Disney
Biggest problem? Well, I’d say it’s been my biggest problem all my life. MONEY. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem. Getting the money to open Disneyland. About seventeen million it took. And we had everything mortgaged including my personal insurance.
Walt Disney
It’s no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment.
Walt Disney
I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land – no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships – just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees.
Walt Disney
I don’t want the public to see the world they live in while they’re in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they’re in another world.
Walt Disney
It’s something that will never be finished. Something that I can keep developing…and adding to.
Walt Disney
I’m doing this because I want to do it better.
Walt Disney
Laughter is America’s most important export.
Walt Disney
I don’t have depressed moods. I’m happy, just very, very happy.
Walt Disney
I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with “expressing” myself with obscure creative impressions.
Walt Disney
Somehow I can’t believe there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.
Walt Disney
We believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together
Walt Disney
Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.
Walt Disney
This is the thing I’m going to be remembered for.
Walt Disney
