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
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.
Dick Cavett
A biggest mistake I made when I started doing a talk show was I thought you had to read the books.

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.

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
Anything seen on TV is, in a subtle and sinister sense, thereby endorsed.
Dick Cavett
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 like when the ice gets thin, the going gets rough, the guests get edgy.
Dick Cavett
I know what it feels like to be a gun lover.
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 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
Every time someone says, 'You know, we really ought to get together,' if I were really honest, I would ask 'Why?'
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.
Dick Cavett
Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.
