More quotes by Bob Newhart
I couldn't play off people that I don't personally like.
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
You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.
Bob Newhart
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
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
Continuing to do stand-up is always a challenge because the audiences and the environments in which you work very often differ.
Bob Newhart
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
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
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
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
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
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 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
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
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'm very open to the up-and-comers.
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
Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.
