For some reason, comedians are still children. The social skills somehow never reach us, so we say exactly what we think without weighing the results. Bob Newhart childcomedianreach Change image and share on social
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 grandchildkidlongevity Change image and share on social
I didn't know I was cool, but I was very flattered that some of the younger comedy writers came up to talk to me at the Emmys. I found that gratifying. Bob Newhart comedycoolemmys Change image and share on social
I am one of the great wasters of time. I have made it an art form. I can get up at 8 o'clock in the morning, be out of the house by 8:30 and back by 5 P.M., and I'll be going all day long and accomplish absolutely nothing. It's an amazing talent.

I can't do a one-camera show. I don't know how to do that kind of show where you count in your head and then you do the next line. Bob Newhart cameracounthead Change image and share on social
It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves. Bob Newhart appearbringcell Change image and share on social
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 70scleancomedian Change image and share on social
I always hated when the studios just kind of said that anybody can act. You look at people like Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda - and I'm just talking about the male actors - there aren't a lot who can act. It's a very special talent, and I wish it were recognized as a very special talent. Bob Newhart actactorfonda share on social
