We have a unique opportunity as Disney because it really is the only true global entertainment brand.

I love working for Disney! They are my family.

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

Working with Disney is really and truly like working with a family. Everyone is so supportive and so wonderful. I've worked with Disney since I was twelve, and they've given me so many opportunities that I'll forever be grateful for.

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.

Our company has been very forward-thinking about digital technology and the opportunity that it gives us. As we move into a world where we have more and more devices at our disposal, that really means more and more opportunities for the Walt Disney Co. to reach you: through our entertainment, through all of our divisions.

One thing that I would like the market to appreciate more is the difference between Disney and other media companies.

People go to Disney because they know its brand attributes. We believe we have an opportunity to go with our content directly to consumers.

I think that might have been an element in it, and people have asked me that very thing. Remember, Disney is the majority shareholder, but it is not an operating division of Disney.

As far as the timing, well, I'd write that off to luck as much as anything - I happened to be out looking for a development deal, and Disney happened to think my team and I might be the right people to make a Mickey Mouse game.
