A Forgotten Walt 1933 Interview

Wade Simpson over at MousePlanet has done a tremendous "community service" job by transcribing an interview of Walt Disney he found in a 1933 newspaper. It was done at the height of the popularity of "The Three Little Pigs" and so involved some description of the making of the film. Many of these quotes have never been attributed to Walt, so these are quite a revelation. For example, his attitude about the money he makes out of his movies is quite revealing of the type of person he is:

“I’m not interested in money, except for what I can do with it to advance my work. The idea of piling up a fortune for the sake of wealth seems silly to me. Work is the real adventure in life. Money is merely a means to make more work possible.
