More quotes by Bob Newhart
I couldn't play off people that I don't personally like.
Bob Newhart
Don't ever have two dogs. That way you won't know which one to blame.
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
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
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
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
Continuing to do stand-up is always a challenge because the audiences and the environments in which you work very often differ.
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 there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
Bob Newhart
Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.
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
I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.
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
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
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
Funny is funny is funny.
Bob Newhart
Because of the spin-meisters and the focus groups and the way politics is run now. It's run by polls and focus groups. So it's even more true today, I think, than it was some 40 years ago.
Bob Newhart
Sometimes you forget you're famous. You wonder, Why is that person staring at me?
Bob Newhart
The best advice I could give someone trying to get into the comedy field is to take advantage of every opportunity you have to work to hone your skills.
Bob Newhart
I've been a very lucky actor.
