The information superhighway? That sounds like a place that's long and boring and kills 50,000 people a year.
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
I'm sure I've all but lost friends by maintaining that, despite their love for it, I always saw Stanley Kramer's 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' as more of an exercise in anti-comedy than humor.
Dick Cavett
I think we live in an age of increasing mediocrity.
Dick Cavett
I have a long list of things that make me mad.

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
The Nixon administration kept a nasty eye on our show... Cops would come by - often just in time to see the act they wanted to see.
Dick Cavett
To label me an intellectual is a misunderstanding of what that is.
Dick Cavett
Japanese is sort of a hobby of mine, and I can get around Japan with ease.
Dick Cavett
Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.
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
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 find most 'sacred music' pretty dismal.
Dick Cavett
There's so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets?
