More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I was a 'Laurel and Hardy' nut. I got to know Laurel at the end of his life, and it was a great thrill for me. He left me his bow tie and derby and told me that if they ever made a movie about him, he'd want me to play him.

I think both of those: the subject matter, pop culture... the talent, I don't think... there's no Jim Belushi in Saturday Night Live, for me. And probably, you know, possibly the material. They've done everything over the years.

I would love to be Moses.

Only funny line I've had was my first day on the set of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. They were making me up, and I saw the director call the makeup man over, and he says What are we going to do about the hooter? And the makeup guy said, I'm not a plastic surgeon. So I started that show with a big nose, and quite conscious of it.

A producer came to me about doing a memoir, and at first I thought, Well, it's a little bland.

And I thought Well, luck has a lot to do with it, so I wrote it from that perspective.
