More quotes by Bob Newhart
I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.
Bob Newhart
Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.
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
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
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.

I was influenced by every comedian I ever saw work. That's the only way you learn how to do it.
Bob Newhart
I feel more comfortable in comedy.
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
In today's world, you would call my father mostly unaccessible. I'm not sure that isn't true of most fathers at that time. He went through the Depression. I don't know what that would have done to my psyche.
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
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.
Bob Newhart
I kind of do it in my head, then I'll try pieces of it on stage and if it looks promising, I'll put it together.
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
You never know when you'll come upon something and it's going to be fodder for new material.
Bob Newhart
There's a lot of cynicism. Let's really enjoy Christmas, with all that's going on in the world.
Bob Newhart
You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.
Bob Newhart
Because of the spin-meisters and the focus groups and the way politics is run now. It's run by polls and focus groups. So it's even more true today, I think, than it was some 40 years ago.
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 never had an aversion because I was active in the drama club. If I had that aversion I certainly wouldn't put myself in the position of being on stage. Of course, in the drama club you're hiding behind a character.
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.
