When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
Don Rickles
Image
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Who am I to judge is what I say. I'm 90 years old, for crying out loud, and I don't sit in any chariot.

It takes many years to be a great comedian.
Don Rickles
Image
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
Image
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
Image
They always use the word 'insult' with me, but I don't hurt anybody. I wouldn't be sitting here if I did. I make fun of everybody and exaggerate all our insecurities.
Don Rickles
Image
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
Image
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.

The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
Image
The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.
Don Rickles
Image
I do situations and make fun of authority and life.
Don Rickles
Image
Hell, do I remember the first joke? I was never a jokester.
Don Rickles
Image
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
Image
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
Image
My style is my personality. It's always been that way. Being a wiseguy and having fun. It's always been that way for me, when I was in high school, and in the Navy. It's not something I rehearse.
Don Rickles
Image
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

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.
