Bob Newhart

All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
Bob Newhart

Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.
Bob Newhart

Funny is funny is funny.
Bob Newhart

I don't have a stack of scripts.
Bob Newhart

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.
Bob Newhart

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'.
Bob Newhart

I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.
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 was never a Certified Public Accountant. I just had a degree in accounting. It would require passing a test, which I would not have been able to do.
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

I'm very open to the up-and-comers.
Bob Newhart

I've been a very lucky actor.
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

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

Jack Benny was, without a doubt, the bravest comedian I have ever seen work. He wasn't afraid of silence. He would take as long as it took to tell the story.
Bob Newhart

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart

The first time I got up in front of an audience was terror, abject terror, which continued for another four or five years. There still is, a little bit.
Bob Newhart

The only thing I have never done is a Broadway play. I'm not sure I have the discipline necessary to do a Broadway play. I know it holds a fascination for certain actors.
Bob Newhart

This stammer got me a home in Beverly Hills, and I'm not about to screw with it now.
Bob Newhart

When I started out in 1960, I thought it might possibly last a couple of years. I never expected it to last 42. I take great satisfaction in that longevity.
Bob Newhart

John Candy

I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.
John Candy

I thought to myself, Join the army. It's free. So I figured while I'm here I'll lose a few pounds.
John Candy

Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.
John Candy

Henry Winkler

A human being's first responsibility is to shake hands with himself.
Henry Winkler

Adam Sandler is truly brilliant. He plays these goofy characters, but he is a brilliant fellow.
Henry Winkler

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
Henry Winkler

Being down in Orlando, Florida, where we filmed the movie, I learned how to bass fish. Jerry Reed, who plays the villain in the movie, taught me how to bass fish.
Henry Winkler

I do most of my work with kids. They are the very foundation of our future. We are so incredibly disrespectful to them in America in every way because they can't vote.
Henry Winkler

I rode it once, which was up the driveway in the opening credits of the show. I didn't know how to stop it. I actually nearly killed the director of photography, and I smashed into the sound truck.
Henry Winkler

If you make compelling television, they will come.
Henry Winkler

In school, I was an underachiever.
Henry Winkler

Producing came about because I never wanted to be in one of those books, Where Are They Now?
Henry Winkler

Producing is the hardest of the three because there is almost no closure. Every time you solve a problem, another one pops up. Directing is second, and acting is the most fun.
Henry Winkler

Right now I belong to the wonderful organization called The Children's Action Network. The first thing we did was immunize 200,000 children across the country against childhood diseases.
Henry Winkler

That problem has been going on since men and women and their children moved from the plains and into caves. How many times have you heard Howard Cunningham talking to Marian about shopping? Too many.
Henry Winkler

To me acting is like a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle is of the sky and all the pieces are blue. Out of this you have to create a human being and put it together.
Henry Winkler

Wes Craven is a wonderful friend, and we had a really good time together.
Henry Winkler

When Richie Cunningham drank too many beers, his parents sat him down and explained their concerns. If you live on this earth, you find out that we are all the same.
Henry Winkler

When you love what you do, then you're talking to one of the luckiest guys on the face of the earth.
Henry Winkler

You see, I don't know how to ride a motorcycle, actually.
Henry Winkler

Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.
Henry Winkler

Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane

I am not strict vegan, because I'm a hedonist pig. If I see a big chocolate cake that is made with eggs, I'll have it.
Grace Slick

I didn't want to write a book. They made me do it.
Grace Slick

I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.
Grace Slick

I'm very fond of drugs.
Grace Slick

If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
Grace Slick

It takes a little work to be a vegan, but now it's really possible to have tasty stuff and it's better for you. I say the best test is go as far as you can and see how you feel. Personally, I feel great.
Grace Slick

No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it.
Grace Slick

The main point for me is moral; animals are sentient beings. I know for some this is a hard argument to accept, but we're not built to eat a lot of meat.
Grace Slick

Things change so fast, you can't use 1971 ethics on someone born in 1971.
Grace Slick

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.
Grace Slick

Paul McCartney

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.
Paul McCartney

Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard.
Paul McCartney

George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.
Paul McCartney

George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.
Paul McCartney

I can take pot or leave it. I got busted in Japan for it. I was nine days without it and there wasn't a hint of withdrawal, nothing.
Paul McCartney

I can't deal with the press; I hate all those Beatles questions.
Paul McCartney

I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest.
Paul McCartney

I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.
Paul McCartney

I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.
Paul McCartney

I don't work at being ordinary.
Paul McCartney

I feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don't want to say anything.
Paul McCartney

I had this song called Helter Skelter, which is just a ridiculous song. So we did it like that, 'cuz I like noise.
Paul McCartney

I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.
Paul McCartney

I never look forward, because I have no idea about how any of it happened to getting here. I've no idea how the next five years are going to be.
Paul McCartney

I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
Paul McCartney

I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.
Paul McCartney

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.
Paul McCartney

I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
Paul McCartney

I used to think that all my Wings stuff was second-rate stuff, but I began to meet younger kids, not kids from my Beatle generation, who would say, We really love this song.
Paul McCartney

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.
Paul McCartney

Charlie Daniels

A friend of mine, that I had known for some time, came up one day with an old guitar. I don't know where he got it, I don't know how long he'd had it, but he knew about two chords on it. He proceeded to teach them to me, and then we proceeded to go crazy over music.
Charlie Daniels

Any accolades that anybody puts toward this band really makes me feel good, because I have devoted such a big part of my life to this band, making it what I want it to be.
Charlie Daniels

Country music has changed tremendously, so what now is considered country was not considered country at that time. We were doing stuff that probably could have been called country music today, but would certainly have not have fit in at that time.
Charlie Daniels

I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to come down. I did - thank God I did.
Charlie Daniels

I just thank God I can make a living doing something I enjoy as much as I do playing music.
Charlie Daniels

I should be the one to say what I do. It's just not done that way anymore in Nashville, and I can't do it the other way. That's how our record label came about.
Charlie Daniels

My next project will be a Christian album, another one. I wrote the songs for the ones you're referring to, but I want to do some of my old gospel favorites. That's what my next album's going to be.
Charlie Daniels

The funny thing is, the music that I'm writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we've ever done. The music that I'm thinking about putting on our next album.
Charlie Daniels

We can get rid of red tape.
Charlie Daniels

We didn't have a garage to rehearse in. We had to aggravate the folks in the house. But I got a chance to play in a beer joint, and that's how it started.
Charlie Daniels

Well, I just can't play the game anymore. I'm 63 years old, and I've been in the business for 40 years now. I take good advice and direction really well, but I don't need somebody that finished college two years ago to come in and tell me what I should be recording.
Charlie Daniels

Valerie Harper

Do not tell somebody how to vote, just go up to them and tell them what Fahrenheit 9/11 meant to you. Fahrenheit will probably not win an Academy Award, but if you put it first on your list, it will become a nominee.
Valerie Harper

I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn't a star, just an actress. Forget it. I'm a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it.
Valerie Harper

I'm painfully middle class.
Valerie Harper
