More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I'm always announcing my retirement. I'm still not retired.
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.
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'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
I wanted to be a radio announcer.
Dick Van Dyke
I have four children and I have seven grandkids.
Dick Van Dyke

You can spread jelly on the peanut butter but you can't spread peanut butter on the jelly.
Dick Van Dyke
Anyone who doesn't sing and dance at every opportunity is missing out on the joy of life.

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
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
Moses probably danced a little, right? You don't part the Red Sea without having some moves.
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
So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
Dick Van Dyke
I think the biggest mistake - I was always a big fan of Cary Grant, and he asked me to do a movie with him, playing the second lead, and I didn't do it. And to this day, I can't remember why. But I could've said I worked with Cary Grant, but I turned him down. That was probably the biggest mistake I ever made.
Dick Van Dyke
I just think everyone needs their own private space.
Dick Van Dyke
Everything's getting homogenized. It seems to me like music and behavior and everything else is getting homogenized.
Dick Van Dyke
Carl Reiner particularly as a writer, a terrific writer. He's just turning out things.
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
