“Well, I thought he (Walt Disney) hired me because I was such a great singer and dancer. As it turns out, he had heard me in an interview talking about what was happening to family entertainment. I was decrying the fact that it seemed like no holds were barred anymore in entertainment… He knew about the ‘Van Dyke Show’ about our little sitcom, but that’s why he called me in, because I said something he agreed with. And I got the part.” — Dick Van Dyke
