Dick Cavett
I find most 'sacred music' pretty dismal.
Dick Cavett

Dick Cavett
By the time I was in the fourth grade, I sounded exactly like my father on the phone.
Dick Cavett
I know what it feels like to be a gun lover.
Dick Cavett
As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it.
Dick Cavett
Depression - it falls into that small category of things like combat that, if you haven't been in it, you can say you can imagine it all you like. But it's truly different.
Dick Cavett
Just think of all the billions of coincidences that don't happen.
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
Every comic can report a few 'gift from the gods' moments.
Dick Cavett
Home schooling as an idea is on a par with home dentistry.
Dick Cavett
Japanese is sort of a hobby of mine, and I can get around Japan with ease.
