More quotes by Dick Cavett
Home schooling as an idea is on a par with home dentistry.
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 like when the ice gets thin, the going gets rough, the guests get edgy.
Dick Cavett
There's so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets?
Dick Cavett
The sudden death at 51 of James Gandolfini is intolerable.
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
Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently.
Dick Cavett
It's lamented that the youth get their news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It's lamentable that they get more from them than from the news.

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
I had to fight the intellectual label when I started in television, because, first of all, it's not going to help you commercially, and also, it wasn't particularly true of me. I mean, if anybody thought I was an intellectual, they probably had never really seen one.
Dick Cavett
The information superhighway? That sounds like a place that's long and boring and kills 50,000 people a year.
Dick Cavett
It's not always easy to identify your own voice. It comes with time.
Dick Cavett
I'm the only talk show host, I think, if there's such a category in, what's called, the book of records, to have a guest die while we were taping the show, yeah.
Dick Cavett
Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn't ailing.
Dick Cavett
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.
Dick Cavett
There were several things a Yale freshman was supposed to be able to do. You had to demonstrate in the Olympic-size Yale pool that you could swim 50 yards or be inducted into swimming class.
Dick Cavett
I know what it feels like to be a gun lover.
Dick Cavett
Every time someone says, 'You know, we really ought to get together,' if I were really honest, I would ask 'Why?'
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 haven't ever found any great writing on that wonderful and often unappreciated art form, the insult.
