Continuing to do stand-up is always a challenge because the audiences and the environments in which you work very often differ.
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.
Bob Newhart
I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.
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
