Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
Don Rickles
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
Don Rickles
When you do see me, you'll get the idea from when you see me that it's all off the top of my head. A lot of it is a beginning, middle and the end. But it's different every night. I have a lot of jokes in my back pocket I've said over the years.
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
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'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
Everything I've ever done in my whole career, people might not know, I've never written anything down on paper.
Don Rickles
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
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 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
It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.
Don Rickles
Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.
Don Rickles
I do situations and make fun of authority and life.
Don Rickles
