If (O.J. Simpson) is acquitted, I will renounce my citizenship. And if I converse with him at a cocktail party, I will say, 'Well, there are so many people here who haven't murdered anyone. I think I'll go talk to them.' I'll also riot.

More quotes by Dick Cavett
I'm not sure why writing for others became harder. Probably a reluctance to give away anything you might conceivably use yourself caused a block. I did it, but it remained hard when it had once been easy.
Dick Cavett
I live a sensible life. You know, I don't take on too much.
Dick Cavett
Nobody is going to try to confiscate guns, although some Web sites know better: President Obama, they are certain, wants to.

It was at a vividly bad time in Norman Mailer's life that I met him, and a sort of water-treading time in mine. He had stabbed his wife, and I was a copy boy at Time magazine.
Dick Cavett
It's a tribute to the human brain that anyone is able to function out there on television in a talk situation that is entirely artificial.
Dick Cavett
Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn't ailing.
Dick Cavett
By the time I was in the fourth grade, I sounded exactly like my father on the phone.
Dick Cavett
Does anything show the complexity of the miraculous brain more than that weird curiosity, the sleep-protection dream?
Dick Cavett
Just think of all the billions of coincidences that don't happen.

Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.

Years have passed since I have set foot in a comedy club. If the comic is doing badly it's painful, and if the comic is doing brilliantly, it's extremely painful.
Dick Cavett
When I'm doing an appearance somewhere and taking questions from the audience, I can always count on: 'Tell about the guy who died on your show!'
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
Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently.
Dick Cavett
To label me an intellectual is a misunderstanding of what that is.
Dick Cavett
I feel sorry for the poor kids whose parents feel they're qualified to teach them at home. Of course, some parents are smarter than some teachers, but in the main I see home-schooling as misguided foolishness.
Dick Cavett
It's not always easy to identify your own voice. It comes with time.
Dick Cavett
To call New York's traffic at holiday time a nightmare is to understate.
Dick Cavett
Anyone working in the media can tell you that there seems to be an always-ready-to-explode segment of the populace for whom offense is a fate worse than anything imaginable. You'd think offense is one of the most calamitous things that could happen to a human being right up there with the loss of a limb, or just missing a parking space.
Dick Cavett
Obviously those who burn to be professional jesters mean that they want to be successful comedians. And those are always an elite, microscopic portion of the population. But oh, how they try.
