I do not want to make teaching films. If I did, I would create a separate organization. It is not higher education that interests me so much as general mass education.
Think beyond your lifetime, if you want to do something truly great.
I've wanted to do things; I wanted to build things, to get something going.
I wanted to retain my individuality. I was afraid of being hampered by studio policies. I knew if someone else got control, I would be restrained.
It's because I like you, I don't want to be with you. It's a complicated emotion
I just want to leave you with this thought, that it's just been sort of a dress rehearsal, and we're just getting started. So if any of you start resting on your laurels, I mean just forget it, because...we are just getting started.
I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they're in another world.

I'm doing this because I want to do it better.
Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.
Think beyond your lifetime if you want to accomplish something truly worthwhile.
