More quotes by Bob Newhart
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
Bob Newhart
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.
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 don't want to find the secret. I'm afraid all the joy will go out of it if I find the secret.
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
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
You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.
Bob Newhart
One of the first things you ever learn as a stand-up is don't show fear.
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
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
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
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
You never know when you'll come upon something and it's going to be fodder for new material.
Bob Newhart
Don't ever have two dogs. That way you won't know which one to blame.
Bob Newhart
I feel more comfortable in comedy.
Bob Newhart
Continuing to do stand-up is always a challenge because the audiences and the environments in which you work very often differ.
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
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 think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.
Bob Newhart
But I really believe that if you have the ability, there is an obligation to make people laugh
