More quotes by Bob Newhart
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
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
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
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.

Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
Bob Newhart
I think everyone probably starts out sounding like someone else, but gradually you develop your own sound.
Bob Newhart
I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person, he may never utter a funny line.
Bob Newhart
Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.
Bob Newhart
Sometimes you forget you're famous. You wonder, Why is that person staring at me?
Bob Newhart
Humor's a weapon if you want to make it one.
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.
