As wonderful as they were, my parents didn't teach me anything about self-discipline, concentration, patience, or focus. If I hadn't had a family myself, I probably never would've done anything. Marriage taught me responsibility.

More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I hear music and my feet just start moving.
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'm the anti-Quentin Tarantino.
Dick Van Dyke
I didn't know the answers, but I could feel that the things that gave life meaning came from a place within and from the nurturing of values like tolerance, charity, and community.
Dick Van Dyke
There's a lot of very funny people I'd love to work with that I've never met, of course. I love Steve Martin and Jim Carrey.
Dick Van Dyke
I think it's being thrown at the wolves, we call it in our business.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner.
Dick Van Dyke
I would love to be Moses.
Dick Van Dyke
I have four children and I have seven grandkids.
Dick Van Dyke
We should never judge a day by its weather.
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
I think most people will tell you that. They can go along and, while they're denying that they are addicted, say it's stress this, it's this, it's that. But I - it's - I think - I really believe there is a gene. Some people become addicted and others don't.
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 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 grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.
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 wouldn't mind taking a chance at Real Time, I've always thought if I could pick my interviewer, it'd be Charlie Rose, who I think is the best.
Dick Van Dyke
I could probably play an alcoholic. I've had some experience with that.
Dick Van Dyke
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.
Dick Van Dyke
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
