With the advent of cell phones, especially with the very small microphone that attach to the cell phone itself, it’s getting harder and harder I find, to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone Picture Quote #1

Don’t live in the past. There’s no point. You can’t change anything. What a waste of time Picture Quote #1

Chuck Lorre and I had been talking about doing one of his shows for a while. I said I’d like to do ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ because I think it’s the best written, most intelligent show on television Picture Quote #1

You shouldn’t get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There was a sea of change in comedy in the late 1950s and 60s. We were dealing with vignettes as opposed to jokes. We were more socially aware Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how doctors pick one specialty over another. Some you can understand. Pediatricians. Or gynecologists delivering babies, bringing a new life into the world, but how does someone want to be a proctologist? How can you fall in love with proctology? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Probably the best advice I ever got in my life was from the head of the accounting department, Mr. Hutchinson, I believe at the Glidden Company in Chicago, and he told me, ‘You really aren’t cut out for accounting.’ Picture Quote #1

I was never a Certified Public Accountant... I just had a degree in accounting. The reason I was never a Certified Public Accountant was because it would require passing a test, which I would not have been able to do Picture Quote #1

More and more, as I get older, people come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for all the laughter.’ And my standard answer is, ‘It was my pleasure.’ But that’s the truth Picture Quote #1

I think there are still words you can’t use in family entertainment that you can use in a sitcom today Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You never know when you’ll come upon something and it’s going to be fodder for new material Picture Quote #1

If you look at Jack Benny, George Burns, or Don Rickles, they’ve all had long, successful marriages. So, I think there’s something about laughter and the durability of a marriage Picture Quote #1

The problem is that we live in an uptight country. Why don’t we just laugh at ourselves? We are funny. Gays are funny. Straights are funny. Women are funny. Men are funny. We are all funny, and we all do funny things. Let’s laugh about it Picture Quote #1

Richard Pryor introduced me to the world of the inner city, and the urban world, and did it hysterically. My favorite comedian, even though we work 180 degrees differently, but funny is funny is funny Picture Quote #1

Don Rickles and I are best friends. I know that might seem strange to those who know Don only by reputation, but somebody has to be his friend. Just to make sure I don’t forget, Don gave me a doormat that sits just outside the front door of my house. It reads: ‘The Newharts: The Rickleses Best Friends.’ Picture Quote #1
