Don Rickles
Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.

Don Rickles

Don Rickles
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
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 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
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
