More quotes by Bob Newhart
I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.
Bob Newhart
I was influenced by every comedian I ever saw work. That's the only way you learn how to do 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
Don't ever have two dogs. That way you won't know which one to blame.
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
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
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
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.

All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
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
Sometimes you forget you're famous. You wonder, Why is that person staring at me?
Bob Newhart
I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
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
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
Bob Newhart
One of the first things you ever learn as a stand-up is don't show fear.
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'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 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
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
The giant superstars are people whose talent is so enormous that their death wish can't destroy it.
