All of us involved say 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the best five years of our lives. We were like otters at play.

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.

The most important thing for old guys is never start going down the stairs sideways.

Emotionally I'm about 13.

In my seventies, I exercised to stay ambulatory. In my eighties, I exercise to avoid assisted living.

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.

'Mary Poppins' was one of the best experiences of my life.
