Dick Cavett's quotes

  • Anyone who steals another comic's material should be sentenced for life to reading Aristophanes to the O.J. [O.J. Simpson] jury.
  • I'm perplexed when people adopt the modish abbreviation "Ms.," which doesn't abbreviate anything except common sense.
  • There's so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets?
  • [on being a talk-show host] It's a wonderful job for people who have never had a nervous breakdown and have always wanted one.
  • I remember being in a play once, and there were just 30 minutes left, and I thought, "I don't want this ever to end". It's like being in a protective womb for a couple hours, then the poor actor has to go home.
  • [on writer Paul Keyes] Paul was a devious man with an element of paranoia and a distinctly undesirable streak of just about everything.
  • (On Jerry Lewis) So long, Jerry. You made me howl with laughter. And you paid me to write for you, proving you really had a zany streak. Miss ya, man, bad.
  • [an introduction he provided for the Jack Paar show] And here they are, Jayne Mansfield.
