The whole Disney thing is really interesting, in a way, how that's so permeated life and the world and the planet.

All kids, when they go to school, are pretty good artists and dancers and singers and poets. All that gets buried, basically through being educated, or brainwashed.

I think being an artist, or just being creative, or imaginative, or aware, where I think everybody starts out, and by about the age of 10, that's been pretty effectively whipped out by education.

I've been attracted to imagery and occasionally I've drawn from it, but I never thought I'd be painting these paintings. I didn't have any desire to. I didn't think there was any reason to.

The whole Disney thing is really interesting, in a way, how that's so permeated life and the world and the planet.

I wish I could have known earlier that you have all the time you'll need right up to the day you die.

We're all kind of basically involved in the same thing, putting up a blank of some kind and filling it in.

Irish is the prominent nationality in the family, but beyond that, I really don't know. I see a lot of artistic or creative influence coming through on my mother's side.

I'm just a landscape painter. I look out the window and I see what's going on, and I paint it. While I'm painting it, I also write thoughts about what I see going on out there.

It's like there are all these languages available, especially in terms of image. Why confine yourself to only English? There's all these languages and possibilities and concepts to speak or communicate with.

My kids enjoy the Disney program, Lizzy McGuire.

I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.

I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

I'm saddened to see that some have been misled into believing that Mr. Disney was something other than a kind, caring man.

Disney made a fortune out of inventing the businessman's idea of the imaginary as the contradictory of the businessman's idea of the real.

Florida has tons of entertainment opportunities because Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are there.

We've been able to access deals that under our former relationship with Disney - with tax advantages and strategic partners - that we just weren't able to do.

That's always at the heart and soul of Disney's features, the feeling of a family values.

Someone at Disney heard one of the records and called me in to do the sounds of Lucifer the Cat in Cinderella.

I had the great good fortune to interview Peggy Lee. Her memories of working with Walt Disney and his team were warm and upbeat.

This is a Disney animated feature; it's eternal, it's history. What's there to think about'

Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.

I know that the work is good and they're excited over at ABC and Disney and it's getting some really good feedback. It's not just a little, insignificant kind of role. It's meaty, which is good.

Look what Disney's done to their animation department. There wasn't an animator in charge of their animation unit!

I mean when I was working shall we say with Disney, you know they sent me the script for the film Hercules and I had to imagine what all the characters looked like. And to develop those characters, so nothing exists visually when I get the script.

The cool part about working for Disney is that they've allowed me to be a change agent.

Pixar is going in the direction of the early Disney. And it's also corporate, where they have four or five projects in the works. I don't want to get into that subject.

Disney is thrilling and informative and important and beautiful and suspect. Butts was a detail I observed later and definitely ties in. I suppose I was programmed, yeah.

I joined Walt Disney, went to work, December 2nd 1935, so obviously, I'm not too young!

Walt Disney was my great hero.

Well let's see; I'm not obsessed with... I like Walt Disney except that you know, except for the horrible fascism. I love the art of it. I like a lot of things I don't agree with and that's one of them.

My daughter is one of the associate producers on two shows for Disney. I am really proud of her.

Being on Disney, a lot of young people look up to me.

I'm a lifelong Disney nut.

Is Walt turning over in his grave? A man named Joe Roth runs Disney right now-he gave me the go-ahead and total freedom to do whatever I wanted to do.

When I was about 17 or 18, I finally admitted to myself that I wasn't going to change. I didn't know what the consequences would be, but I had the definite feeling that it was going to wreck my Disney career.

I've got Disney blood running through my veins.

What can we say about a marketing culture that so openly feeds and colludes with obsession? The Disney empire has developed this to an unprecedented degree of professionalism.

Always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter. Walt Disney Every decision you make is a mistake.

Mr. Disney and his staff were constantly scouting for great stories to bring to life on film.

The only one that seems to be able to hold the business is Disney. They do it is because they have a fabulous philosophy about marketing- but even they wavered.

We really believe that Walt Disney is a very able company with great depth and a great set of franchises.

Michael Eisner let it be known last week that he had no intention of leaving the entertainment business once he steps down as CEO of Disney in October.

Never, never did I think I would be in a Disney movie.

I first met Walt Disney 25 or 30 years ago.

Too many of Disney animators, and a lot try to emulate Disney, are trying to hit what they call quality levels. They're boring mannerisms.

If DreamWorks and Disney need that name to sell the cartoon and get people in the seats, that's what they need. It's not fair, but there's plenty of other work for us to do.
