More quotes by 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
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
Don Rickles
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.
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
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
It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.
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 think if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He'd just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.
Don Rickles
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.
Don Rickles
The transformation has been unbelievable. When I started here, I worked in a place where the Sky Room was on the second floor.
Don Rickles
I'm very shy so I became very outgoing to protect my shyness.
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
I never went out looking for glory.
Don Rickles
To my knowledge, I was the first guy really to do what I do. And then later on different comedians started trying doing it.
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
