More quotes by 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
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
Therapists need to give a depressed patient support and direction.
Dick Cavett
I had to fight the intellectual label when I started in television, because, first of all, it's not going to help you commercially, and also, it wasn't particularly true of me. I mean, if anybody thought I was an intellectual, they probably had never really seen one.
Dick Cavett
I don't think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience's reaction is from another.
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
Home schooling as an idea is on a par with home dentistry.
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 feel like I've been watching Irwin Corey forever. I saw him in the 1950s, and I thought he was old then.
Dick Cavett
Why anyone, by dying, should thereby be declared beyond criticism, innocent of wrongdoing, suddenly filled with virtue and above reproach escapes me.
Dick Cavett
Every comic can report a few 'gift from the gods' moments.
Dick Cavett
Nobody is going to try to confiscate guns, although some Web sites know better: President Obama, they are certain, wants to.
Dick Cavett
Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently.
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 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've actually gotten so I don't associate television with entertainment very much.
Dick Cavett
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.
Dick Cavett
Coming up through the ranks of any calling can be rough, but that battered soul who survives the early years of courting the comic muse comes close to knowing what only the soldier knows: What combat is like.
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.
