Bob Hope Quotes

Now that the war is winding down, I want to say I do appreciate you fellows hanging around here - just for me Picture Quote #1

A lot of my comic influences are distinctly American: Woody Allen and Bob Hope, for example. They were always the underdogs who were using wit to sort of battle their way through. And it seems to me that a lot of contemporary U.S. comedies are shot through with losers. None of the characters in ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ for instance, are studs Picture Quote #1

Miniskirts have become quite a fad. They’re even some guys wearing them. Don’t laugh, if you had thought to of that, you’d not be here now Picture Quote #1

I get upset over a bad shot just like anyone else. But it’s silly to let the game get to you. When I miss a shot I just think what a beautiful day it is. And what pure fresh air I’m breathing. Then I take a deep breath. I have to do that. That’s what gives me the strength to break the club Picture Quote #1

You know, marriage is making a big comeback. I know personally that in Hollywood people are marrying people they never married before Picture Quote #1

Audiences are my best friends. You never tire of talking with your best friends Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge Bob Hope fan, up until about the late 50s. I’ve seen so many of his movies up until then, and they’re a big influence on me and a big influence on Woody Allen, who is basically just ripping off Bob Hope for his first five or six movies Picture Quote #1

Bing Crosby and I weren’t the types to go around kissing each other. We always had a light jab for each other. One of our stock lines used to be There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Bing, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me. And that’s the way we go through life - doing nothing for each other! Picture Quote #1

My golf-loving friend Bob Hope asked me what my handicap was, so I told him - the Congress Picture Quote #1

I watched Ken Burns’ Civil War series on PBS. My favorite segment is when Bob Hope entertains the troops at Gettysburg Picture Quote #1

I thought that I held the record of most appearances on the Bob Hope Show, but I think - It’s Brooke Shields Picture Quote #1

I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope Picture Quote #1

Bob Hope, like Mark Twain, had a sense of humor that was uniquely American, and like Twain, we’ll likely not see another like him Picture Quote #1

Over the past 50 years Bob Hope employed 88 joke writers who supplied him with more than one million gags, and he still couldn’t make me laugh Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind personal insults, but when you insult the jokes that I tell you’re insulting Fred Allen, Bob Hope, Burns and Allen, Trevor McGee and Molly Picon Picture Quote #1

It’s an honor to walk in the footsteps of a legend. As host I intend to honor the tradition of The Bob Hope Classic and have a great time blazing a new path Picture Quote #1

Bob Hope was totally regimented. I go in and say a line like, ‘Hi Bob’ and I’d have to do it five times, and then Bob would take me to the writers to say the line different ways. He wouldn’t let me ad-lib Picture Quote #1

I am very much inspired by the great masters of entertainment: Bob Hope, George Burns, Jimmy Durante - who never thought about retiring. When people ask me if I plan to retire, I say, Retire to what? I am doing what I love best right now! Picture Quote #1

The very phrase ‘Oscar night’ used to accelerate my pulse. For one thing - dating myself - it meant Bob Hope. He always had good, strong jokes, that faultless delivery, and always a new joke about his own films’ failure - once again - to be honored Picture Quote #1

I was on ‘Murder She Wrote’ with Angela Lansbury. She was fantastic... she was lovely to everyone, she was always on time, prepared. Whereas when I worked with Bob Hope, he didn’t know his lines. He had to have these huge big cards... he hardly said two words to me all day Picture Quote #1

There is nothing in the world I wouldn’t do for (Bob) Hope, and there is nothing he wouldn’t do for me ... We spend our lives doing nothing for each other Picture Quote #1

Congratulations to whoever is finally booking music we love. It’s going to get us out of the house after dark! Picture Quote #1

The old water heater in my dressing room was working, but it was kind of tired. It gave off about as much warmth as an agent’s handshake Picture Quote #1

Kissing is like drinking tea with a tea strainer, you can never get enough Picture Quote #1

I’ve got to watch myself these days. It’s too exciting watching anyone else Picture Quote #1

When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things - not the great occasions - that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how many people you see on TV. I did my first television show a month ago, and the next day five million television sets were sold. The people who couldn’t sell theirs threw them away Picture Quote #1

The stealth bomber is supposed to be a big deal. It flies in undetected, bombs, then flies away. Hell, I’ve been doing that all my life Picture Quote #1

If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s golf Picture Quote #1

Milton Hope led the singing of Happy Birthday ... He would say, ‘Keep it sweet and short and don’t try to be funny.’ Picture Quote #1
