All the children had to wear a gas mask in case of a gas attack by the Germans. They tried to make the masks like Mickey Mouse faces so the children would like them. But I didn't. They had big ears on them.
Gerald Scarfe

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.
John Hench

Everything is difficult, and everything worthwhile is difficult. A certain need, a need not unlike Mickey had: to know, to understand, and I had that need to understand and to know.
Harvey Keitel

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

I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer.
Richard Branson

I played in rhumba bands, mickey mouse bands; all kinds of bands.
Stan Getz

I still don't know precisely why The Mickey Mouse Club ended when it did.
Annette Funicello

I used to love watching him as a player, so it is a joy to play alongside him. I might take the mickey out of him, but deep down I have so much admiration for him.
Robbie Keane

I'm Mickey Mouse. They don't know who's inside the suit.
Keanu Reeves

Las Vegas without Wayne Newton is like Disneyland without Mickey Mouse.
Merv Griffin

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.
John Hench

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

Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
Walt Disney

Mickey Mouse... is always there-he's part of my life. That really is something not everyone can call their claim to fame.
Annette Funicello

Most original viewers of the Mickey Mouse Club didn't face the crush of family and social problems children have today.
Annette Funicello

My dear friend Jimmie Dodd was the heart and the soul of The Mickey Mouse Club.
Annette Funicello

Of the many guests we welcomed to the Mickey Mouse Club, my absolute favorites were the Lennon Sisters.
Annette Funicello

Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors.
Peter Tork

That was real baseball. We weren't playing for money. They gave us Mickey Mouse watches that ran backwards.
Bill Lee

The image we have would be impossible for Mickey Mouse to maintain. We're just... normal people.
Karen Carpenter
