More quotes by 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
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
Women were afraid of me, they were scared to death. But I always say be yourself, if you're funny then let your sense of humor go there. I mean there's no sense hiding what you feel.
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
I have a problem, if the light goes on on TV and it blinks midnight, I don't know how to fix it.
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
The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.
Don Rickles
It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.
Don Rickles
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
Don Rickles
In the old days, that was my ad-lib for hecklers in the joints I worked. It stuck with me. I hardly say it now, say, to fans, even though people do send me hockey pucks.
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
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
Don Rickles
Hell, do I remember the first joke? I was never a jokester.
Don Rickles
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
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
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 always enjoy being full of fun, but I have my serious moments. Some women go for the studious kind of guy, I certainly was not that. If a girl is looking for somebody different and maybe a little more exciting for themselves - someone more on the fun side, I would suggest that they look for a type like Don Rickles.
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
Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
Don Rickles
I think if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He'd just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.
