More quotes by Don Rickles
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
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 do situations and make fun of authority and life.
Don Rickles
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
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 have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.
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
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
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
Don Rickles
I have a problem, if the light goes on on TV and it blinks midnight, I don't know how to fix it.
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.
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
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
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 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
You've got to be able to sell yourself.
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.
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
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
Don Rickles
