    We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make a statement. But to make money, it is often important to make history, to make art, or to make some significant statement […] In order to make money, we must always make entertaining movies, and, if we make entertaining movies, at times, we will reliably make history, art, a statement or all three.

    Is the full quote, and it’s such an unbelievably reasonable statement for a Disney CEO, it’s insane that people have taken it, stripped it of all context and made it sound like Eisner was some kind of greedy art hater.
