A Quote by Dick Van Dyke

I worked nightclubs all through my 20s, and I was a teetotaler. — © Dick Van Dyke
I worked nightclubs all through my 20s, and I was a teetotaler.
I worked all through my 20s, all through my 30s, so I've been lucky to be working.
I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler; I don't like beer.
While in my late teens and in my 20s, I worked seven days a week, 20 hours a day. I worked my tail off.
I've read something that Bill Gates said about six months ago. He said, ‘I worked really, really hard in my 20s.’ And I know what he means, because I worked really, really hard in my 20s too. Literally, you know, 7 days a week, a lot of hours every day. And it actually is a wonderful thing to do, because you can get a lot done. But you can't do it forever, and you don't want to do it forever, and you have to come up with ways of figuring out what the most important things are and working with other people even more.
If hotels are replacing nightclubs, then they're replacing nightclubs for yuppies.
I worked on the line, I've been an executive chef, I've worked for the Mets, I've worked for various steakhouses, vegetarian restaurants, a lot of Middle Eastern stuff. I've worked my fair share of a lot of different things. I've worked at festivals and street fairs, you know? I've been through it all.
In my 20s I worked out like a machine.
Nightclubs are a small-revenue business that go through pretty fast popularity cycles.
Visually I've always liked the 20s 30s for film. I do these because I like the music. I like the clothes. I like the way the women and the guys look. There are soldiers and sailors and gangsters with the machine guns in their violin cases. It's a very colorful era of New York, full of great theater and great nightclubs and great jazz.
In my mid-20s I worked at the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Nightclubs are the equivalent of a Catholic Church in a poor country. You hear a lot of stuff about churches filled with gold while the people are starving. But what elitists don't get is that for poor people, the church is their own mansion. Nightclubs fill the same function.
I used to work for Symantec AV: I worked as their in-house IT technician, and then I worked as specialized AV support, and then I worked for Hartford Life IT, in Dublin and London. I worked in IT from '99 through to 2007.
Actors have a different kind of existence because they blow up over night into superstars in their early 20s. Let's say you were a superstar in your early 20s and somebody gave you millions of dollars, I mean come on. Let's be honest here, we don't know anything in our 20s.
A modern vegetarian is also a teetotaler, yet there is no obvious connection between consuming vegetables and not consuming fermented vegetables. A drunkard, when lifted laboriously out of the gutter, might well be heard huskily to plead that he had fallen there through excessive devotion to a vegetable diet.
I am a teetotaler but I have to say that the film business is intoxicating.
In my late teens and early 20s, I worked hard on my roles, but, to be honest, I didn't feel any special commitment to acting.
