More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I was the worst game show host that ever lived, and I knew it.
Dick Van Dyke
When I started having kids, I thought, 'I don't want to do anything they can't watch.'
Dick Van Dyke
I'm the anti-Quentin Tarantino.
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 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
Carl Reiner particularly as a writer, a terrific writer. He's just turning out things.
Dick Van Dyke
My favorite unknown movie is 'The Comic.'
Dick Van Dyke
Probably one of the happiest moments, outside the birth of all of my kids, was the first time we won an Emmy, that the show won an Emmy. That was a big night.
Dick Van Dyke
There aren't many pratfalls in comedy anymore.
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.
Dick Van Dyke
I could probably play an alcoholic. I've had some experience with that.
Dick Van Dyke
In my seventies, I exercised to stay ambulatory. In my eighties, I exercise to avoid assisted living.
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
When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late 40s. And just through necessity, going out looking for work, I was starting to sing, and dance, and act, and I never expected to do that, nor to have any success at it at least.
Dick Van Dyke
I hear music and my feet just start moving.
Dick Van Dyke
It means you never know what's going to happen,' I said. 'You do your best, then take your chances. Everything else is beyond our control.

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
I did a guest shot on a comedy series where they did 20 to 30 takes of everything. It's just gone by then. The joke is over. It's not funny anymore, and then of course, the editor's the one that has to figure out the timing. I think a lot depends on that.

I would love to be Moses.

Jon Stewart kills me. I love him. And Bill Maher. He does an hour on HBO. But entirely political. It is awfully rough, but he does make me laugh.
