JERRY VAN DYKE

I didn't handle success all that well.

I've always done comedy, and I've always wanted to do a dramatic role. I wanted to be a sheriff.

I always knew if I had some success that I'd no longer be thought of as Dick Van Dyke's brother.

I've always known I was good, but if other people dont think so, it can hurt your confidence.

I have an act I take on the road. That's what saved me. I dont know how most actors make a living.

If I had taken 'Gilligan's Island,' I would never have gotten 'Coach' because I would have been established as Gilligan.

The Emmy nomination did a world of good for my confidence.

God knows I tried to make it earlier in life, but with all due respect to myself, nothing I ever did was any good.

I became known as the guy who did the worst show in the history of television.

The 'My Mother the Car' script read like Neil Simon compared to the 'Gilligan's Island' script.

I never turned down anything but 'Gilligan's Island.'

Mom always liked me best.
