More quotes by Dick Cavett
The emotions in all true anxiety dreams are next to unbearable.
Dick Cavett
Teaching is an art and a profession requiring years of training.
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
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
William F. Buckley was a man who had a great capacity for fun and for amusing himself by amazing others.
Dick Cavett
I haven't ever found any great writing on that wonderful and often unappreciated art form, the insult.
Dick Cavett
By the time I was in the fourth grade, I sounded exactly like my father on the phone.
Dick Cavett
Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn't ailing.
Dick Cavett
The sudden death at 51 of James Gandolfini is intolerable.
Dick Cavett
As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it.
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.

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
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.'
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 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
If you have a relative who's lost interest in everything and doesn't get out of bed, who doesn't care for things they used to, can't imagine anything that would give them any pleasure, don't fool around with it get therapy, get help, get medication if that's right for you, or talk therapy, or something.
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
A conversation does not have to be scintillating in order to be memorable. I once met a president of the United States, and his second sentence to me was about knees.
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 like when the ice gets thin, the going gets rough, the guests get edgy.
