I helped develop Disney's) special effects department at that time, which helped very much when we worked on "20000 Leagues under the Sea"

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.

The boundaries of design are the same as the problem of perception.

I always admired Walt's optimism. He seemed to know the direction he was going to. When I was at the studio, I remember he kept driving all of us back down to a more fundamental level all the time.

Even in China. Children there, next to the Great Wall, who had never seen Mickey Mouse responded. So the studio did have that skill to communicate with images.

Walt had a marvelous intuition. And because he understood people very well, liked them and had great respect for people, there was nothing cynical about Walt.

I was trying to help... The more I try to catch up, the farther I fall behind.

People who achieve big things are those who decide to try ideas that were previously rated and graded as impossibilities. “Impossibility” never exists!

We are all hypocrites. We cannot see ourselves or judge ourselves the way we see and judge others.

The original intent of laws was to get the masses of people to accept the limitations superimposed upon them as being the result of their own misbehavior.

I think the idea that a society has to be responsible for all of its citizens, those who do well and those who do not, is really a precondition of a good society.

I'm a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it's good.

It doesn't matter where you come from. It's what you do when you get here.

Fishing is a hard job. Fishing at night. Rain. Day, night. You have to be wise and smart. And quick.

When something works for you, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope that it will work for someone else.

It's a piece of property that, if you're going to have a development out here, you need to have a golf course because you need to take care of the effluent water being created by the development.
