Walt Disney Business Quotations

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.

I never called my work an 'art' It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.

We grew to our present size almost against ourselves. It was not a deliberately planned commercial venture in the sense that I sat down and said that we were going to make ourselves into a huge financial octopus. We evolved by necessity. We did not sit down and say to ourselves, 'How can we make a big pile of dough?' It just happened.

My greatest reward is that I have been able to build this wonderful organization.

The difference in winning & losing is most often, not quitting.

Why worry? If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better

Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.

We don't make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies.
