Don Rickles
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
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

They always use the word 'insult' with me, but I don't hurt anybody. I wouldn't be sitting here if I did. I make fun of everybody and exaggerate all our insecurities.

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
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
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
When I got out of high school, I wanted to be an actor but was getting a lot of rejections. I was getting rejected by life. My mother, God rest her soul, told me not to quit.
Don Rickles

Don Rickles
My whole act is off the top of my head.
Don Rickles
