More quotes by 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
Eddie Fisher married to Elizabeth Taylor is like me trying to wash the Empire State Building with a bar of soap.
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.
Don Rickles
My whole act is off the top of my head.
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
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 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
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
Don Rickles
People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.
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
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
Don Rickles
I was sitting in the toilet and I was by myself. I was tired of playing with the roller, so I said I'd better write a book.
Don Rickles
When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
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 think they [Martin Scorsese, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra] liked my honesty. My personality. For that, they always treated me great. I, in turn, treated them great. No secret about it. My being who I am - that is that.
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
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
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
I never went out looking for glory.
Don Rickles
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
