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 get a kick out of people saying I was funny.
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
I live a sensible life. You know, I don't take on too much.
Dick Cavett
I did standup while still working for Johnny Carson in the mid-'60s, thus gaining the advantage of at least getting laughs from him about how I hadn't the night before.
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
All three of my parents - I also had a stepmother - were teachers, and my dad taught high school, and as he always reminded me when I was going to spend some money on something, 'Your mother and I, in the Depression, had to decide whether to spend a dime on a loaf of bread or if we could go to a movie with it.'

Anything seen on TV is, in a subtle and sinister sense, thereby endorsed.
Dick Cavett
I have a long list of things that make me mad.

Every writer knows that unless you were born gifted with either supreme confidence or outsize ego, handing in your work holds, in some cases, admitted terror. If that's too strong, at least fairly high anxiety.
Dick Cavett
I haven't ever found any great writing on that wonderful and often unappreciated art form, the insult.
Dick Cavett
It's not always easy to identify your own voice. It comes with time.
Dick Cavett
Can you picture yourself at the age 60 doing what you do now?
Dick Cavett
Comedians are sometimes resentful of their writers. Probably because it's hard for giant egos to admit you need anyone but yourself to be what you are.
Dick Cavett
I feel like I've been watching Irwin Corey forever. I saw him in the 1950s, and I thought he was old then.
Dick Cavett
Every comic can report a few 'gift from the gods' moments.
Dick Cavett
I like when the ice gets thin, the going gets rough, the guests get edgy.
Dick Cavett
Every student of comedy should see Dame Edna at least twice.
Dick Cavett
Unpleasant reading on the subject of anger tells us that there's not really anything wrong with it. In limited amounts. It can even be a good thing. A pressure valve.
Dick Cavett
I think we live in an age of increasing mediocrity.
Dick Cavett
I know what it feels like to be a gun lover.
