Bob Newhart
I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
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.

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
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
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.
