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.

More quotes by Don Rickles
I do situations and make fun of authority and life.
Don Rickles
When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
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
Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.
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
Everything I do on stage, I made up in saloons. I started doing it in front of people, and that became my performance. I never had writers.
Don Rickles
I have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.
Don Rickles
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
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
It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.
Don Rickles
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
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
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
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.
Don Rickles
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.
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
Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
Don Rickles
The transformation has been unbelievable. When I started here, I worked in a place where the Sky Room was on the second floor.
