More quotes by Bob Newhart
I think everyone probably starts out sounding like someone else, but gradually you develop your own sound.
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
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
Bob Newhart
All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.
Bob Newhart
I've done more than I thought I was ever going to do. I've had a very long and very satisfying career.
Bob Newhart
There's gratification in making somebody laugh. It's a wonderful sound. I find myself, to this day, doing it, wanting to make people laugh.
Bob Newhart
The giant superstars are people whose talent is so enormous that their death wish can't destroy 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.
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
Don't ever have two dogs. That way you won't know which one to blame.
Bob Newhart
Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.
Bob Newhart
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
Bob Newhart
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
Bob Newhart
I think that what comes through in Chicago humor is the affection. Even though youre poking fun at someone or something, theres still an affection for it.
Bob Newhart
I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.
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
I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.
Bob Newhart
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart
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.
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.
