Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.

I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.

Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.

When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse.

You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

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.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
