When you're a kid, you lay in the grass and watch the clouds going over, and you literally don't have a thought in your mind. It's purely meditation, and we lose that.
Dick Van Dyke -
I've been talking about retiring for years. It's my standard answer to the question, 'What are your future plans?' The truth is, I'll always want to do things that are worthwhile or fun.

I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.
Dick Van Dyke -
I don't think we've got much of a chance to tell you the truth. But our main problem is our audience skews a little older than most shows, and I don't think our people can stay up that late. I certainly can't.
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 -
I cannot live alone.
Dick Van Dyke -
I think it's being thrown at the wolves, we call it in our business.
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
-
I'm not cantankerous.
Dick Van Dyke -
I was a 'Laurel and Hardy' nut. I got to know Laurel at the end of his life, and it was a great thrill for me. He left me his bow tie and derby and told me that if they ever made a movie about him, he'd want me to play him.
Dick Van Dyke -
The thing I'm most proud of is my family, the way they've turned out.
Dick Van Dyke -
Don't worry so much. Most of the things you worry about never end up happening.
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 -
You know, I'm almost out of the habit of watching episodic television now.
Dick Van Dyke
-
Emotionally, I'm about 13.
Dick Van Dyke -
I was always in show business but in many ways was not really of show business. I didn't move in show business circles, particularly, still don't do it.
Dick Van Dyke -
In Bernie Sanders, I see a man saying that the emperor has no clothes while everyone around him insists they see clothes. Whether or not he makes it to the White House, I hope and pray that everyone hears the alarm he is sounding now; it may be the last voice we ever hear.
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 -
I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner.
Dick Van Dyke -
There are no more Walt Disneys anymore.

The first time I met Mary Tyler Moore, I thought she was just beautiful, but I thought she was a little young.
Dick Van Dyke -
I've always thought if I could pick my interviewer, it'd be Charlie Rose, who I think is the best.
Dick Van Dyke -
Every morning I have something to do, I'm better off. It's bad to get up and not have something to do.
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.
