More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
Everything's getting homogenized. It seems to me like music and behavior and everything else is getting homogenized.
Dick Van Dyke
When I get some budding young comic who'll come up to me and say, 'What was it like to do it in those days?' I try to be as gracious to him as Stan Laurel was to me.
Dick Van Dyke
When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late 40s. And just through necessity, going out looking for work, I was starting to sing, and dance, and act, and I never expected to do that, nor to have any success at it at least.
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
I have four children and I have seven grandkids.
Dick Van Dyke
I was the worst game show host that ever lived, and I knew it.
Dick Van Dyke
Moses probably danced a little, right? You don't part the Red Sea without having some moves.
Dick Van Dyke
Everybody knows that I'm shorter, but it doesn't bother me at all.
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.

Today, if you're not an alcoholic, you're nobody.
Dick Van Dyke
Emotionally I'm about 13.
Dick Van Dyke
[My mother] once cooked a ham and later found it in my father's shirt drawer. I am not kidding.

I would love to see Carl Reiner working in the arena today. He did some marvelous things on our show in the early '60s when it was a little edgy. We did shows about blacks, a couple, three of those. Some thought-provoking stuff.
Dick Van Dyke
I like 'The Office.' I particularly like the British version with Ricky Gervais. Of course, I liked the 'Seinfeld' show a lot. I thought that was an awfully good show.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm the anti-Quentin Tarantino.
Dick Van Dyke
But I wish they would make a musical of some kind. I miss musicals so much. You don't see them anymore.
Dick Van Dyke
I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit.
Dick Van Dyke
Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them.
Dick Van Dyke
I've got plenty of arthritis. But if you keep moving, it won't bother you that much. That's why old guys stiffen up. They forget they have to get out of their chairs and do something. You let the moss grow over, it's your own fault.
Dick Van Dyke
We should never judge a day by its weather.
