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

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
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.
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
Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
Don Rickles
I can sit all day in a comfortable chair and watch ball games, but I don't need a blanket.
Don Rickles
When you do see me, you'll get the idea from when you see me that it's all off the top of my head. A lot of it is a beginning, middle and the end. But it's different every night. I have a lot of jokes in my back pocket I've said over the years.
Don Rickles
I never went out looking for glory.
Don Rickles
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
