One of the first things that you learn as a stand-up is, you're the boss. It's your stage, and don't screw with me because I'll make you look bad, which I had to do, because you wind up with drunks and loud people.
Bob Newhart
I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.
Bob Newhart
Funny is funny is funny.
Bob Newhart
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
Bob Newhart
All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.
Bob Newhart
