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.

Don Rickles
My whole act is off the top of my head.
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
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
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
Don Rickles
Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.
