More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner.
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
You need someone to love, and something to do that you enjoy, and something to hope for, and that's enough for me.
Dick Van Dyke
A producer came to me about doing a memoir, and at first I thought, Well, it's a little bland. But then I realized that almost everything that's happened to me was the result of being in the right place at the right time. And I thought Well, luck has a lot to do with it, so I wrote it from that perspective.
Dick Van Dyke
We spent a lot of time together and had a great time with Mary Tyler Moore. And just working with her was like improv.
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 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.
Dick Van Dyke
Everybody knows that I'm shorter, but it doesn't bother me at all.
Dick Van Dyke
[My mother] once cooked a ham and later found it in my father's shirt drawer. I am not kidding.
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 was lucky to get the kinds of parts I wanted. I always said I didn't want to do anything my kids can't see.
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 grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.
Dick Van Dyke
Carl Reiner particularly as a writer, a terrific writer. He's just turning out things.
Dick Van Dyke
I just think everyone needs their own private space.
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
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've always been a bit of an orphan, because actors say, 'Well, he's more of a dancer.' And dancers say, 'No. He's really a singer.' And singers say, 'No. He's an actor.'
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'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
