More quotes by Dick Van Dyke
So as my kids will tell you, they had a pretty normal life.
Dick Van Dyke
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
You know, I'm almost out of the habit of watching episodic television now.
Dick Van Dyke
I think that's the answer to a good marriage. Everyone has their own room.
Dick Van Dyke
Only funny line I've had was my first day on the set of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. They were making me up, and I saw the director call the makeup man over, and he says What are we going to do about the hooter? And the makeup guy said, I'm not a plastic surgeon. So I started that show with a big nose, and quite conscious of it.
Dick Van Dyke
I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit.
Dick Van Dyke
Emotionally I'm about 13.
Dick Van Dyke
Carl Reiner particularly as a writer, a terrific writer. He's just turning out things.
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
I think there's kind of a wave of nostalgia going on right at the moment. You know, people recall an earlier time, which they see as a better time. And I think we just kind of evoke good thoughts when they look at us. That's the feeling I get.
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
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
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 could probably play an alcoholic. I've had some experience with that.
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
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
The secret to keeping moving is keeping moving.
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
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
If you spend your life thinking, I wonder if today is when it ends, you're going to miss out on everything wonderful.
