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

More quotes by 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.
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
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
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
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
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
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don Rickles
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
Don Rickles
I do situations and make fun of authority and life.
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
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
Don Rickles
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.
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
Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.
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
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
You throw your best punch, otherwise don't do it.
Don Rickles
Everything I've ever done in my whole career, people might not know, I've never written anything down on paper.
Don Rickles
I have a problem, if the light goes on on TV and it blinks midnight, I don't know how to fix it.
Don Rickles
Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
