Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't care if the average guy on the street really knows what I'm like, as long as he knows I'm not really a mean, vicious guy. My friends and family know what I'm really like. That's what's important.

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.

I always rib people, but nobody ever gives me a hard time. I don't know why. Maybe they're afraid of what I might say. There's probably a lesson in that somewhere, but I don't know what it is.

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 would describe myself as a guy that's very normal but has the tendency to rib people, but never in a mean-spirited way.

You've got to be able to sell yourself.
