More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I've made peace with insecurity... because there is no security of any kind.
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
As wonderful as they were, my parents didn't teach me anything about self-discipline, concentration, patience, or focus. If I hadn't had a family myself, I probably never would've done anything. Marriage taught me responsibility.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm gonna keep singing and dancing as long as I can.
Dick Van Dyke
Anyone who doesn't sing and dance at every opportunity is missing out on the joy of life.
Dick Van Dyke
I would love to see Carl Reiner working in the arena today. He did some marvelous things on our show in the early '60s when it was a little edgy. We did shows about blacks, a couple, three of those. Some thought-provoking stuff.
Dick Van Dyke
My son Barry, of course, has been on from the beginning. And his son Shane is playing now a med student regularly on the show. And at one point or another, I've had all four of his kids on the show.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm not quite as much of a curmudgeon being old. I'm not cantankerous. But otherwise, I'm about the same.
Dick Van Dyke
Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them.
Dick Van Dyke
I think that's the answer to a good marriage. Everyone has their own room.
Dick Van Dyke
I wrote a little autobiography about how luck has to do with everything. It's called My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business. A publisher came to me and said write a book so I did. I wanted to call it Everybody Else Has Got a Book.
Dick Van Dyke
I was the class clown, you know, that kind of thing, and I gathered around me a group of guys who also were silly. I was in all the plays and everything. But I don't know, at that time show businesses looked like the moon, you know, it was so far away. I wanted to be a radio announcer.
Dick Van Dyke
I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit.
Dick Van Dyke
I've got plenty of arthritis. But if you keep moving, it won't bother you that much. That's why old guys stiffen up. They forget they have to get out of their chairs and do something. You let the moss grow over, it's your own fault.
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
I wanted to be a radio announcer.
Dick Van Dyke
So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm really in retirement. My career is over. I'm just playing now and having a great time. I like to keep busy, and I'm doing what's fun for me.
Dick Van Dyke
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
Dick Van Dyke
I watch 'Al Jazeera.' They have news that you can't find anywhere else. They do great documentaries, too.
