“Statistically, I'd say comedy writers are perhaps the sanest category ...” — Dick Cavett Quote

“Statistically, I'd say comedy writers are perhaps the sanest category of show people. And why not? They make big money, and although it's not an easy trade - particularly when you're at your galley oar five days a week - it's easier on the nerves and the psyche than living with the brain-squeezing pressure and cares of being the Star.”

“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.”

“Therapists need to give a depressed patient support and direction.”

“I know what it feels like to be a gun lover.”

“I have a disturbing problem with losing things. My vulnerability to loss-distress could properly be labeled not only inordinate, but neurotic.”

“I don't see the future as bright, language-wise. I see it as a glass half empty - and evaporating quickly.”

“Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.”

“For some reason, people don't want to see a girl onstage. Whether it's a girl or a guy, if you like the music, who cares?”

“For me, working out is to zone out and just be you. Who cares what you look like?”

“There used to be that you only had four or five critics that you would look to for intelligent conversation, but now there are millions of people who can just press 'send,' and everyone's got an opinion even if no one cares what they say. It makes things a little bit tougher.”

“It's easy for me to care about Toronto, because Toronto is a community that cares about itself. It represents the world. It talks to itself, and because it does, it figures out that there must be a music garden as part of its existence.”

“And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.”
