Don Rickles
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
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
The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.

I think they [Martin Scorsese, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra] liked my honesty. My personality. For that, they always treated me great. I, in turn, treated them great. No secret about it. My being who I am - that is that.
Don Rickles
Women were afraid of me, they were scared to death. But I always say be yourself, if you're funny then let your sense of humor go there. I mean there's no sense hiding what you feel.
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

Don Rickles
I'm very shy so I became very outgoing to protect my shyness.
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
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
Don Rickles
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.
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 do situations and make fun of authority and life.
Don Rickles
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
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
To me, the stand up part in my life is great. I know I can do that. When I get an acting chance, I'm really thrilled.
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
Hell, do I remember the first joke? I was never a jokester.
Don Rickles
