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
Image
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
Image
I couldn't play off people that I don't personally like.
Bob Newhart
Image
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart
Image
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.

I don't want to find the secret. I'm afraid all the joy will go out of it if I find the secret.
