Bob Newhart
I was influenced by every comedian I ever saw work. That's the only way you learn how to do it.
Bob Newhart
You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.
Bob Newhart
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
Bob Newhart
All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.
Bob Newhart
Don't ever have two dogs. That way you won't know which one to blame.
Bob Newhart
I'm very open to the up-and-comers.
Bob Newhart
The reason I'm a psychologist is based in part on my telephone routines. Much of my humor comes out of reaction to what other people are saying. A psychologist is a man who listens, who is sympathetic.
