More quotes by 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.
Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart
There's a lot of cynicism. Let's really enjoy Christmas, with all that's going on in the world.
Bob Newhart
I'm most proud of the longevity of my marriage, my kids, and my grandchildren. If you don't have that, you really don't have very much.
Bob Newhart
All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.
