Bob Newhart
I don't want to find the secret. I'm afraid all the joy will go out of it if I find the secret.
Bob Newhart
Women are more emotional. They do get flustered. Which is not to say that men are better than they. It's simply the way it is.
Bob Newhart
Well, my career choice made a difference because I never would have met my wife, Jenny. I met her through comedian Buddy Hackett. He set us up on a blind date and then we got married.
Bob Newhart
