Dick Van Dyke : (14) " I’m not a loner. I have to have a life partner. " - Dick Van Dyke " When I was a kid, I loved all the silent comedians – Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin. And I used to imitate them. I’d go to see a Buster Keaton movie and come home and try things out I’d seen. I learned to do pratfalls when I was very young. " - Dick Van Dyke " All of us involved say ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ was the best five years of our lives. We were like otters at play. " - Dick Van Dyke " My brother and I laughed a lot as kids. We came up in the middle of the Depression, and neither one of us knew we were poor. We had nothing, but we didn’t know it. " - Dick Van Dyke
