They always use the word 'insult' with me, but I don't hurt anybody. I wouldn't be sitting here if I did. I make fun of everybody and exaggerate all our insecurities.

More quotes by Don Rickles
When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
Don Rickles
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
Don Rickles
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
An insult comic is the title I was given. What I do is exaggeration. I make fun of people, at life, of myself and my surroundings.
Don Rickles
The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.
Don Rickles
Once in a while, when I'm alone, I think about my age. I think, How many more years do I have on this earth? But I can't really conceive of dying. Somehow, in my head, I don't think I'll die. I know that everybody dies, of course. I just think that it'll never come to me. It's crazy, but there it is.
Don Rickles
I would describe myself as a guy that's very normal but has the tendency to rib people, but never in a mean-spirited way.
Don Rickles
You've got to be able to sell yourself.
Don Rickles
People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.
Don Rickles
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
Don Rickles
I always rib people, but nobody ever gives me a hard time. I don't know why. Maybe they're afraid of what I might say. There's probably a lesson in that somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
Don Rickles
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.
Don Rickles
I've never had guys sit me down and say this is what you've got to do. It's my personality that makes me one of a kind, and I believe that.
Don Rickles
The transformation has been unbelievable. When I started here, I worked in a place where the Sky Room was on the second floor.
Don Rickles
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
Don Rickles
I can sit all day in a comfortable chair and watch ball games, but I don't need a blanket.
Don Rickles
I don't feel an obligation to give everyone a hard time, but when they're important people, it's fun.
Don Rickles
Who am I to judge is what I say. I'm 90 years old, for crying out loud, and I don't sit in any chariot.
Don Rickles
I have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.
