running views creative
The company should be run from a creative point of view rather than a financial point of view.
technology technological-change entertainment
We cannot escape that Hollywood is in the middle of a wave of technological change. The current angst over all the implications of new entertainment technology is nothing new.
summer song nice
To this day, I fondly recall the challenges of building a fire, pitching a tent, climbing a New England mountain, canoeing on a lake. Camp songs still resonate inside me. Competition exists at Keewaydin, of course, but nobody fails summer camp, a nice respite from winters of fortune and misfortune at school.
matter doe management
In every business, in every industry, management does matter.
ideas wife negative
My best idea was to not accept my wife's negative reaction when I asked her to marry me.
warren-buffet bigger buffett
Nobody has a bigger cult than Warren Buffett,
life failure experience
Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.
decision emotion balanced
Balanced emotions are crucial to intuitive decision making.
couple school years
Graduate school is a place to hide for a couple of years.
positive philosophy fall
I always went into an area that was in last place, with a philosophy, 'You can't fall off the floor.' And I was lucky, was at the right time and the right place, with the right ideas, and each one of these areas became number one.
business oil want
The movie business has always been like the wild-catting oil business. Everyone wants a gusher.
basketball team golfers
I gravitate toward the team thing. I'm not a golfer - I much prefer basketball.
ideas supportive conflict
The whole business starts with ideas, and we're convinced that ideas come out of an environment of supportive conflict, which is synonymous with appropriate friction.
dream heart creativity
I remember the first time we stood in this spot. We were on the deck of a boat in the middle of what was then Penny's Bay, envisioning what could be, what would be, what will be. Six years later, through our dream partnership with Hong Kong government, the creative dream is now a reality. Hong Kong Disneyland stands before us as a living symbol of the creativity and imagination that are the heart and soul of Disney.
