Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
Don Rickles
My style is my personality. It's always been that way. Being a wiseguy and having fun. It's always been that way for me, when I was in high school, and in the Navy. It's not something I rehearse.
Don Rickles
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
Don Rickles

You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
Don Rickles
I never could tell a joke. I just started talking to the audience, and when the drunks would yell, Hey, when do the broads come on? I got good at saying, Relax. Clear your skin up first. They called me the insult guy, but it's never mean-spirited. I'm just exaggerating everything about us and about life.
Don Rickles
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
Don Rickles
Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.
Don Rickles
Hell, do I remember the first joke? I was never a jokester.
Don Rickles
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
Don Rickles
To me, the stand up part in my life is great. I know I can do that. When I get an acting chance, I'm really thrilled.
Don Rickles
