More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
Carl Reiner particularly as a writer, a terrific writer. He's just turning out things.
Dick Van Dyke
One day in '61, I was looking in the Santa Monica phone book for a number, and there it was: Stan Laurel, Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. I went over there and spent the afternoon with them. And pumped him with questions. I must have driven him crazy. I spent a lot of happy hours at Stan's house on Sundays just talking about comedy.
Dick Van Dyke
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.
Dick Van Dyke
My favorite unknown movie is 'The Comic.'
Dick Van Dyke
I turned down some movies that were quite good. mainly on the basis of taste.

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
I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.
Dick Van Dyke
I got into a Broadway show before I ever sang and danced. I learned how after I got in the show.
Dick Van Dyke
So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
Dick Van Dyke
I have two kids who were like me, we get out of bed feeling good, and the other two would sit at the breakfast table and grumble. I think it's born into us. I usually wake up feeling pretty good. Looking forward to the day.
Dick Van Dyke
Everybody knows that I'm shorter, but it doesn't bother me at all.
Dick Van Dyke
No, no, it was the relationships. That was that group. People believed that Rob and Laura were really married in real life. You know, a lot of people believed that.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm always announcing my retirement. I'm still not retired.
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
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
Dick Van Dyke
Stan said he used to keep Hardy late, make him miss his golf game, and really get him mad.
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
Somebody asked what I wanted on my gravestone. I'm just going to put: 'Glad I Could Help.'
