More quotes by Don Rickles
I've never walked off stage and said, I shouldn't have done that. Because when you do what I do, you're like a fighter. You throw the right hand and say, That's what got me to this dance. You can't have doubt. If you have doubt, there's no show.

Don Rickles
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.

Regis Philbin is very successful in his own right. We have a new thing where he have chairs and we sit and talk to each other about my career and his career. It works pretty well if I do say so.
Don Rickles
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
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.
