Quote

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.

To my knowledge, I was the first guy really to do what I do. And then later on different comedians started trying doing it.

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.

The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.

If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.

In the old days, that was my ad-lib for hecklers in the joints I worked. It stuck with me. I hardly say it now, say, to fans, even though people do send me hockey pucks.

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.

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.

The transformation has been unbelievable. When I started here, I worked in a place where the Sky Room was on the second floor.

When you talk about George Burns you're talking about a living legend . . . well, a legend, anyhow.

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.

I can sit all day in a comfortable chair and watch ball games, but I don't need a blanket.

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.

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.
