More quotes by 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
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
I would describe myself as a guy that's very normal but has the tendency to rib people, but never in a mean-spirited way.

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
I always rib people, but nobody ever gives me a hard time. I don't know why. Maybe they're afraid of what I might say. There's probably a lesson in that somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
Don Rickles
I never went out looking for glory.
Don Rickles
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
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
My father when walked into a room, you could tell that everybody loved him. They really did. He was quite a man. My mother was more into the show biz atmosphere than he was.
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
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
Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.
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
Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
