More quotes by Don Rickles
Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.
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 think if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He'd just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.
Don Rickles
When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
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
You've got to be able to sell yourself.
Don Rickles
I'm very shy so I became very outgoing to protect my shyness.
Don Rickles
Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.
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
You throw your best punch, otherwise don't do it.
Don Rickles
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
Don Rickles
Eddie Fisher married to Elizabeth Taylor is like me trying to wash the Empire State Building with a bar of soap.
Don Rickles
It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.
Don Rickles
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
Don Rickles
Women were afraid of me, they were scared to death. But I always say be yourself, if you're funny then let your sense of humor go there. I mean there's no sense hiding what you feel.
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
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
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
Don Rickles
Hell, do I remember the first joke? I was never a jokester.
Don Rickles
Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.
Don Rickles
