More quotes by 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
Everybody knows that I'm shorter, but it doesn't bother me at all.
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 wanted to be a radio announcer.
Dick Van Dyke
Jon Stewart kills me. I love him. And Bill Maher. He does an hour on HBO. But entirely political. It is awfully rough, but he does make me laugh.
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
Do you know that I was the anchor on the 'CBS Morning Show?' And my newsman was Walter Cronkite.
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
Anyone who doesn't sing and dance at every opportunity is missing out on the joy of life.
Dick Van Dyke
10 years ago, I would've host Saturday Night Live. But to me, the show has declined. For some reason, humor isn't what it was. It just, to me, it's not as funny as it was, not as sharply satirical.
Dick Van Dyke
A producer came to me about doing a memoir, and at first I thought, Well, it's a little bland. But then I realized that almost everything that's happened to me was the result of being in the right place at the right time. And I thought Well, luck has a lot to do with it, so I wrote it from that perspective.
Dick Van Dyke
Everything's getting homogenized. It seems to me like music and behavior and everything else is getting homogenized.
Dick Van Dyke
I could probably play an alcoholic. I've had some experience with that.
Dick Van Dyke
Today, if you're not an alcoholic, you're nobody.
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'm really in retirement. My career is over. I'm just playing now and having a great time. I like to keep busy, and I'm doing what's fun for me.
Dick Van Dyke
You can spread jelly on the peanut butter but you can't spread peanut butter on the jelly.
Dick Van Dyke
I have two kids who were like me, we get out of bed feeling good, and the other two would sit at the breakfast table and grumble. I think it's born into us. I usually wake up feeling pretty good. Looking forward to the day.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm not quite as much of a curmudgeon being old. I'm not cantankerous. But otherwise, I'm about the same.
