Bob Newhart
Image
Marriage and fatherhood heighten the disillusion that we all think we are born handy. We confidently believe that we can fix things around the house, as if it's part of the collective brain that was further enhanced by eighth-grade shop class.

Image
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

I think everyone probably starts out sounding like someone else, but gradually you develop your own sound.
Bob Newhart
Image
I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.
