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

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 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
My whole act is off the top of my head.
Don Rickles
It's just to break things up between stand-up gigs. I would only do it periodically. Maybe just an East Coast thing.
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
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
When I got out of high school, I wanted to be an actor but was getting a lot of rejections. I was getting rejected by life. My mother, God rest her soul, told me not to quit.
