If you can dream it, you can do it.

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

People look at you and me to see what they are supposed to be. And, if we don't disappoint them, maybe, just maybe, they won't disappoint us.

Of all the things I have done, the most vital is coordinating the talents of those who work for us and pointing them towards a certain goal.

Sheer animated fantasy is still my first and deepest production impulse. The fable is the best storytelling device ever conceived, and the screem is its best medium.

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

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

There is a natural hootchy-kootchy motion to a goldfish.

You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

Girls bored me, they still do. I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known.

You can't just let nature run wild.

Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that.

A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.

I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and at the bottom of the Spanish Main... and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.

We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.

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.

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.

If it can be dreamed, it can be done.

We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public.

Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.

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.
