I've been told to speed up my delivery when I perform. But if I lose the stammer, I'm just another slightly amusing accountant.
Bob Newhart
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
All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.
Bob Newhart
You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.
Bob Newhart
Continuing to do stand-up is always a challenge because the audiences and the environments in which you work very often differ.

Funny is funny is funny.
Bob Newhart
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'

Bob Newhart
But I really believe that if you have the ability, there is an obligation to make people laugh
Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
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
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 couldn't play off people that I don't personally like.
Bob Newhart
You never know when you'll come upon something and it's going to be fodder for new material.
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.
