Don Rickles
In the 45 years I've worked in casinos, I dreamed of being honored by an organization like the American Gaming Association, especially since I don't even have a hunting license.
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 do situations and make fun of authority and life.
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
I never went out looking for glory.
Don Rickles
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
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
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
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
Everything I do on stage, I made up in saloons. I started doing it in front of people, and that became my performance. I never had writers.
Don Rickles
I'm very shy so I became very outgoing to protect my shyness.
Don Rickles
When you talk about George Burns you're talking about a living legend . . . well, a legend, anyhow.
Don Rickles
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
Don Rickles
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
