I look up to Walt Disney and what he has done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always wanted to work for Walt Disney. That's what I thought I was going to do when I grew up.
Walt Disney was my great hero.
I first met Walt Disney 25 or 30 years ago.
I do what I do because of Walt Disney. Goofy. Mickey Mouse. I never forgot how their films entertained me.
I wanted to be a part of the Disney history.
I have always thought of Walt Disney as my second father.
Mr. Disney and his staff were constantly scouting for great stories to bring to life on film.
The Disney archives, it's 84 years of history. The one way in which I feel I'm a kindred spirit with Walt Disney is that neither one of us ever throws anything away. He never threw anything away.
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.
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.
