More quotes by Dick Cavett
You can, after all, reduce the reasons for watching TV to but two: to be lulled, and to be stimulated. Some people do one sometimes, the other sometimes. Some people do all of one or all of the other.
Dick Cavett
Japanese is sort of a hobby of mine, and I can get around Japan with ease.
Dick Cavett
Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn't ailing.

You have to be on TV a surprisingly long time before you're stopped on the street. Then, when you are, you get a lot of, 'Hey, you're great! What's your name again?'

I feel like I've been watching Irwin Corey forever. I saw him in the 1950s, and I thought he was old then.

I feel sorry for the poor kids whose parents feel they're qualified to teach them at home. Of course, some parents are smarter than some teachers, but in the main I see home-schooling as misguided foolishness.

I have a feeling that about 90% of my life has been shaped by my voice, both as an embarrassment and as an advantage.

Dick Cavett
The emotions in all true anxiety dreams are next to unbearable.

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
Music bypasses the brain and goes straight to the heart. I wish my life had more of it.
Dick Cavett
Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.
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
Commercials are not the only exposure that obesity gets on TV. It is by no means a rarity on the wonderful Judge Judy's show when both plaintiff and accused all but literally fill the screen.
Dick Cavett
It's a tribute to the human brain that anyone is able to function out there on television in a talk situation that is entirely artificial.
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.

I find most 'sacred music' pretty dismal.
