Not for a moment, beautiful aged Walt Whitman, have I failed to see your beard full of butterflies.
I blame it on Walt Disney, where animals are given human qualities. People don't understand that a wild animal is not something that is nice to pat. It can seriously harm you.
There were no jewelry hidden. Walt wanted this atmosphere: They were supposed to live here, they've been outside somewhere, but they could come back at any minute and catch us.
I do what I do because of Walt Disney. Goofy. Mickey Mouse. I never forgot how their films entertained me.
I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.
But Walt and him shared the same kind of optimism. Walt believed in himself, and he was optimistic about what he wanted to do. He just knew it will be okay, and Dali was the same way. They had a great deal in common that way.
He had a theory, Walt did, that the religious life, and all the agony that goes with it, is just something God sics on people who have the gall to accuse Him of having created an ugly world.
There's the animation ghetto of feature films in this country. There's this flavor at DreamWorks, and Pixar does their own thing, and generally they're safe. But if you look at Walt Disney's original films, at the time and in the context, they weren'...
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.
Father Janovich: What can I do for you Walt? Walt Kowalski: I'm here for confession. Father Janovich: Holy Jesus, what did you do?
Thao Vang Lor: [Walt's smoking] You should quit. Those things are bad for you. Walt Kowalski: Yeah? So's being in a gang.
Walt Disney: It's not the children she comes to save. It's their father. It's YOUR father, Travers Goff.
Walt Disney: Look at you! I could eat you up! P.L. Travers: That wouldn't be appropriate.
Walt Disney was a master of the human psychology. His sense of timing, sense of speed. In a sense, those cartoons are like Rorschach tests.
I think I do myself a disservice by comparing myself to Steve Jobs and Walt Disney and human beings that we've seen before. It should be more like Willy Wonka... and welcome to my chocolate factory.
His feeling was the name Walt Disney represented all of us. Walt was hanging by his teeth financially and really I think he was for most of his career. Not at all like today.
Ashley Kowalski: [clearly uninterested] Grandpa Walt, you want me to help you with that, the chairs? Walt Kowalski: No, you probably just painted your nails.
[first lines] Al: God, I am sorry for Dorothy, Walt. She was a real peach. Walt Kowalski: Thanks for coming, Al.
Walt Kowalski: [Walt has just gotten Thao a job from his Irish friend] Come on, Zipperhead. We'll leave the mick here to play with himself.
Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?
Walt Disney: We can't make the picture without the color red. The film is set in London, for Pete's sake! P.L. Travers: And? Walt Disney: Well, there's buses and mailboxes and guard's uniforms and things - Heck, the English flag! P.L. Travers: I unde...
