More quotes by Bob Newhart
Marriage and fatherhood heighten the disillusion that we all think we are born handy. We confidently believe that we can fix things around the house, as if it's part of the collective brain that was further enhanced by eighth-grade shop class.
Bob Newhart
I kind of do it in my head, then I'll try pieces of it on stage and if it looks promising, I'll put it together.
Bob Newhart
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.
Bob Newhart
Don't ever have two dogs. That way you won't know which one to blame.
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.
Bob Newhart
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
Bob Newhart
I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.
Bob Newhart
But I really believe that if you have the ability, there is an obligation to make people laugh

It was a decision to work clean. I just prefer to work that way. I have no problem with comedians who don't work that way. There was a temptation in the early '70s to reconsider. I decided against it.
Bob Newhart
There's gratification in making somebody laugh. It's a wonderful sound. I find myself, to this day, doing it, wanting to make people laugh.
Bob Newhart
I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.
Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart
The giant superstars are people whose talent is so enormous that their death wish can't destroy it.
Bob Newhart
In today's world, you would call my father mostly unaccessible. I'm not sure that isn't true of most fathers at that time. He went through the Depression. I don't know what that would have done to my psyche.
Bob Newhart
I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.
Bob Newhart
I never had an aversion because I was active in the drama club. If I had that aversion I certainly wouldn't put myself in the position of being on stage. Of course, in the drama club you're hiding behind a character.
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
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
Bob Newhart
I couldn't play off people that I don't personally like.
Bob Newhart
I've done more than I thought I was ever going to do. I've had a very long and very satisfying career.
