More quotes by 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.

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.

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.
