The transformation has been unbelievable. When I started here, I worked in a place where the Sky Room was on the second floor.

More quotes by Don Rickles
I do situations and make fun of authority and life.
Don Rickles
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
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
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
When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
Don Rickles
Once in a while, when I'm alone, I think about my age. I think, How many more years do I have on this earth? But I can't really conceive of dying. Somehow, in my head, I don't think I'll die. I know that everybody dies, of course. I just think that it'll never come to me. It's crazy, but there it is.
Don Rickles
In the old days, that was my ad-lib for hecklers in the joints I worked. It stuck with me. I hardly say it now, say, to fans, even though people do send me hockey pucks.
Don Rickles
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.
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 don't feel an obligation to give everyone a hard time, but when they're important people, it's fun.
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
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
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
Don Rickles
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
You've got to be able to sell yourself.
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
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 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
The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.
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
