More quotes by 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
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
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
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
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 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
People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.
Don Rickles
When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
Don Rickles
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
Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.
Don Rickles
Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
Don Rickles
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
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
My father when walked into a room, you could tell that everybody loved him. They really did. He was quite a man. My mother was more into the show biz atmosphere than he was.
Don Rickles
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
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 don't feel an obligation to give everyone a hard time, but when they're important people, it's fun.
Don Rickles
The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.
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
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
