Dick Van Dyke Quotes

"I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit."

"I remember in the book that Caractacus was married. There was no love interest, no love story. So I think bringing Truly Scrumptious in works very well because we had assumed he was a widower. And they couldn't have picked a better Truly Scrumptious than Sally [
Sally Ann Howes]. They came up with Sally Ann and I heard her voice, and it was the richest contralto. She auditioned with 'The Lovely Lonely Man', and I thought, 'My God, this girl is great!' and then she was stunningly beautiful. She loved those kids and they loved her, which I think comes across on the screen. They just thought a great deal of her, and she spent a lot of time with them, you know, between shots - telling stories and playing games during all those long waiting periods."
