Humor's a weapon if you want to make it one.
Bob Newhart
Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.
Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart
I didn't need the elf outfit to play an elf I could just play an elf.
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 there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
