Bob Newhart Great Quotations

Without great writing, you've got a bunch of actors bumping into each other.

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.

For a comedian, there is nothing better than watching another great comedian.

People have told me, 'My dad passed on, but I have great memories of watching your shows with him.' It doesn't get any better than that.

I loved 'Everybody Loves Raymond' because I like Ray and I thought it was beautifully cast, I thought it was great writing. I thought Patricia Heaton was wonderful.
