I found out retirement means playing golf, or I don't know what the hell it means. But to me, retirement means doing what you have fun doing.

More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I never wanted to be an actor and to this day I don`t. I can`t get a handle on it. An actor wants to become someone else. I am a song-and-dance man and I enjoy being myself, which is all I can do.
Dick Van Dyke
There aren't many pratfalls in comedy anymore.
Dick Van Dyke
I could probably play an alcoholic. I've had some experience with that.
Dick Van Dyke
I taught Sunday school when I was younger, and ended up an elder in the church, and it just seemed to me that a lot of people who went to church certainly weren't - the rest of the week - living what I would call an Christian life.
Dick Van Dyke
Everybody knows that I'm shorter, but it doesn't bother me at all.
Dick Van Dyke
I've made peace with insecurity... because there is no security of any kind.
Dick Van Dyke
Oh, I had an idea for a pilot of my own at the time, and then Carl sent me about eight scripts and simply I threw my idea out the window because the writing was just so good.
Dick Van Dyke
I hear music and my feet just start moving.
Dick Van Dyke
Do you know that I was the anchor on the 'CBS Morning Show?' And my newsman was Walter Cronkite.
Dick Van Dyke
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.
Dick Van Dyke
10 years ago, I would've host Saturday Night Live. But to me, the show has declined. For some reason, humor isn't what it was. It just, to me, it's not as funny as it was, not as sharply satirical.
Dick Van Dyke
In my seventies, I exercised to stay ambulatory. In my eighties, I exercise to avoid assisted living.
Dick Van Dyke
I did a 'Golden Girls' once, which shot in front of an audience, and that went well. I had a good time. But I need an audience, for comedy at least.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm gonna keep singing and dancing as long as I can.
Dick Van Dyke
I like 'The Office.' I particularly like the British version with Ricky Gervais. Of course, I liked the 'Seinfeld' show a lot. I thought that was an awfully good show.
Dick Van Dyke
I watch 'Al Jazeera.' They have news that you can't find anywhere else. They do great documentaries, too.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm the anti-Quentin Tarantino.
Dick Van Dyke
Life is like a box of chocolates, I'm a nerd and I read books
Dick Van Dyke
I didn't know the answers, but I could feel that the things that gave life meaning came from a place within and from the nurturing of values like tolerance, charity, and community.
Dick Van Dyke
I have four children and I have seven grandkids.
