More quotes by 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

The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
Bob Newhart
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.

Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart
I feel more comfortable in comedy.

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
Funny is funny is funny.
Bob Newhart
I've been a very lucky actor.
Bob Newhart
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
I was influenced by every comedian I ever saw work. That's the only way you learn how to do it.
Bob Newhart
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.
