More quotes by 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.

You never know when you'll come upon something and it's going to be fodder for new material.
Bob Newhart
Humor's a weapon if you want to make it one.
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

Bob Newhart
Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.
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 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
You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.
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
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
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart
I feel more comfortable in comedy.
