More quotes by 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
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
Bob Newhart
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.
Bob Newhart
I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.
Bob Newhart
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.

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
Funny is funny is funny.
Bob Newhart
Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.
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've done more than I thought I was ever going to do. I've had a very long and very satisfying career.
Bob Newhart
Sometimes you forget you're famous. You wonder, Why is that person staring at me?
Bob Newhart
I'm most proud of the longevity of my marriage, my kids, and my grandchildren. If you don't have that, you really don't have very much.
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
One of the first things you ever learn as a stand-up is don't show fear.
Bob Newhart
I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
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 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
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
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
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
