Rob Petrie is who I really am - in personality and general ineffectiveness.
Dick Van Dyke
Everything's getting homogenized. It seems to me like music and behavior and everything else is getting homogenized.
Dick Van Dyke
My son Barry, of course, has been on from the beginning. And his son Shane is playing now a med student regularly on the show. And at one point or another, I've had all four of his kids on the show.
Dick Van Dyke
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.
Dick Van Dyke
People think I'm talking like I'm in perfect health, but I have all the infirmities for my age. I have arthritis and all those things. But if you keep moving, that won't bother you.
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
My kids are so much better parent than I was.
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
Somebody asked what I wanted on my gravestone. I'm just going to put: 'Glad I Could Help.'
Dick Van Dyke
I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner.
Dick Van Dyke
We spent a lot of time together and had a great time with Mary Tyler Moore. And just working with her was like improv.
Dick Van Dyke
I did a 'Golden Girls' once, which shot in front of an audience, and that went well. I had a good time. But I need an audience, for comedy at least.
Dick Van Dyke
I've made peace with insecurity... because there is no security of any kind.
Dick Van Dyke
My favorite unknown movie is 'The Comic.'
Dick Van Dyke
Otherwise, everything got better and better, just one surprise after another. And that's why I wrote the book about a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and just luck.
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
We had all week to rehearse. An audience would come in at the end of the week and we'd our little show. Most of the ad- libbing happened during the week on the show.
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
I'm the anti-Quentin Tarantino.
Dick Van Dyke
I'm always announcing my retirement. I'm still not retired.
