I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.

Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.

There’s only one S. O. B. at this studio – and that’s me. (dressing down an executive for yelling at a gardener)

Fancy being remembered around the world for the invention of a mouse!

I don’t like depressing pictures. I don’t like pestholes. I don’t like pictures that are dirty. I don’t ever go out and pay for studies in abnormality. I don’t have depressed moods and I don’t want to have any. I’m happy, just very, very happy.
