More quotes by 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.

Moses probably danced a little, right? You don't part the Red Sea without having some moves.

When I was a kid, I loved all the silent comedians - Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin. And I used to imitate them. I'd go to see a Buster Keaton movie and come home and try things out I'd seen. I learned to do pratfalls when I was very young.

I have also heard and read various accounts of why they [Sheldon Leonard and Carl Reiner] liked me. My favorites? I wasn't too good-looking, I walked a little funny, and I was basically kind of average and ordinary. I guess my lack of perfection turned out to be a winning hand. Let that be a lesson for future generations.

I think it's being thrown at the wolves, we call it in our business.

I watch 'Al Jazeera.' They have news that you can't find anywhere else. They do great documentaries, too.

[My mother] once cooked a ham and later found it in my father's shirt drawer. I am not kidding.

Dick Van Dyke
I think there's kind of a wave of nostalgia going on right at the moment. You know, people recall an earlier time, which they see as a better time. And I think we just kind of evoke good thoughts when they look at us. That's the feeling I get.
Dick Van Dyke
When I started having kids, I thought, 'I don't want to do anything they can't watch.'
