I don't know how many sacred cows there are today. I think there's a little confusion between humor and gross passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable.
From Bob Newhart
I don't have a stack of scripts.
Funny is funny is funny.
Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.
When you're going for a joke, you're stuck out there if it doesn't work. There's nowhere to go. You've done the drum role and the cymbal clash and you're out on the end of the plank.
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.
I was not influenced by Jack Benny, and people have remarked on my timing and Jack's timing, but I don't think you can teach timing. It's something you hear in your head.
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
