I've had a lot of writers, in particular, who said they got into writing because of the 'Van Dyke Show.' They said it looked like fun.

Anyone who doesn't sing and dance at every opportunity is missing out on the joy of life.

The secret to keeping moving is keeping moving.

There are tribes all over the world who sing and dance every day as part of their lives. And we oughta do that.

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.

I asked Fred Astaire once when he was about my age if he still danced, and he said 'Yes, but it hurts now.' That's exactly it. I can still dance too, but it hurts now!

We spent a lot of time together and had a great time with Mary Tyler Moore. And just working with her was like improv.
