The life and ventures of Mickey Mouse have been closely bound up with my own personal and professional life.

No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true.

You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.

To some people, I am kind of a Merlin who takes lots of crazy chances, but rarely makes mistakes. I've made some bad ones, but fortunately, the successes have come along fast enough to cover up the mistakes. When you go to bat as many times as I do, and continually improve upon your mistakes, you're bound to get a good average.

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

Today, we are shapers of the world of tomorrow. That is plain truth. There is no way we can duck the responsibility, and there is no reason why we should.

The more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone else which makes you unique. The problem with most people is that they spend their lives trying to emulate others and so we have lots of copies but few originals.
