Dick Cavett
Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn't ailing.
Dick Cavett
History is not reassuring on the subject of the longevity of seemingly lasting great nations, is it?

I have a feeling that about 90% of my life has been shaped by my voice, both as an embarrassment and as an advantage. There was always the terrible incongruity of this deep voice barreling out of this little body. Somewhere in the back of my mind I was aware that it was ludicrous, that it took on an importance that wasn't really there.
Dick Cavett
As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it.

Dick Cavett
The trick to writing for people is, you have to be able to turn them on in your head. And know how they'd word something or how they'd inflect it.
Dick Cavett
While other kids were out playing and doing healthy things, I read an ancient judo book with a neck hold that was fatal to so many people they finally dropped it from judo.
Dick Cavett
You have to be on TV a surprisingly long time before you're stopped on the street. Then, when you are, you get a lot of, 'Hey, you're great! What's your name again?'
Dick Cavett
A biggest mistake I made when I started doing a talk show was I thought you had to read the books.
Dick Cavett
I have never been converted to or even had much interest in spiritualism, occultism, Swedenborgianism or any particular religion. And I never, except occasionally for a laugh, visit the quacks who call themselves psychics.
Dick Cavett
Music bypasses the brain and goes straight to the heart. I wish my life had more of it.
Dick Cavett
To label me an intellectual is a misunderstanding of what that is.
Dick Cavett
