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.

More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
Hope is life's essential nutrient, and love is what gives life meaning
Dick Van Dyke
I think both of those: the subject matter, pop culture... the talent, I don't think... there's no Jim Belushi in Saturday Night Live, for me. And probably, you know, possibly the material. They've done everything over the years.
Dick Van Dyke
I was the worst game show host that ever lived, and I knew it.
Dick Van Dyke
If you spend your life thinking, I wonder if today is when it ends, you're going to miss out on everything wonderful.
Dick Van Dyke
So at 16 I got a job at the local radio station. And I was working after school and weekends. I did the news I did everything. I did - played records.
Dick Van Dyke
There are tribes all over the world who sing and dance every day as part of their lives. And we oughta do 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 found doing that kind of comedy without an audience is just... for me, it's almost impossible. You need the audience to do their half of the work.
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
Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them.
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 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
I could probably play an alcoholic. I've had some experience with that.
Dick Van Dyke
Otherwise, everything got better and better, just one surprise after another. And that's why I wrote the book about a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and just luck.
Dick Van Dyke
I wanted to be a radio announcer.
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
Bob Hope, like Mark Twain, had a sense of humor that was uniquely American, and like Twain, we'll likely not see another like him.
Dick Van Dyke
I sing all day. And it's good for you. Good for your vocal cords.
Dick Van Dyke
Everything's getting homogenized. It seems to me like music and behavior and everything else is getting homogenized.
Dick Van Dyke
No, no, it was the relationships. That was that group. People believed that Rob and Laura were really married in real life. You know, a lot of people believed that.
