More quotes by Dick Van Dyke

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 that's the answer to a good marriage. Everyone has their own room.

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.

When I started having kids, I thought, 'I don't want to do anything they can't watch.'
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.

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.

I got into a Broadway show before I ever sang and danced. I learned how after I got in the show.

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.

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.

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