More quotes by 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
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.

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.

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

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.
