We were trained from cartoons. Everything who was on the screen was chosen. Anything who was not there was deliberately not there.

The show is being changed right now, by the way. Jeff Burke is doing it for the Magic Kingdom. And I think it will be better, with new birds, master of ceremonies, etc.

The park achieved a kind of reality. Like these virtual reality games the children are playing with. I told them we were doing this 40 years ago! Disneyland is virtual reality.

Mickey is one of the prime examples: Mickey has never been suspected of being an American export. It was deja vu. They gave him a local name and he's been accepted everywhere he goes.

I did what we call dry for wet effects, some of the miniatures work and two animation sequences.

What happen to the pirates we are supposed to see? Then we go down the chutes, and it's where the pirates were. But they're all gone. There is nothing but skeletons down here!

Walt's idea was that - as soon as the people who were dining got through their main course. They were supposed to all be seated, served at the same time, when they got into the dessert.

Kindness is the sacred act to transform lives.

What you believe with your heart will manifest in your life.

I'm the only English thing they can vent their anger on.

The environmental problems of developing countries are not the side effects of excessive industrialisation but reflect the inadequacy of development.

I cut my teeth as the black raccoon-- For implements of battle.

Our minds have a tendency to wander. To duck and feint and keep us at a slight remove from the moment at hand.

We must want for others, not ourselves alone.

There is a certain age when a woman must be beautiful to be loved, and then there comes a time when she must be loved to be beautiful.

It's only when an American steps outside of their own culture that you see how integral it is.

Death does not discriminate; whether saints or sinners, in the end, all are equal.
