More quotes by Don Rickles
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
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 I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
Don Rickles
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
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
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
Hell, do I remember the first joke? I was never a jokester.
Don Rickles
I never went out looking for glory.
Don Rickles
I can sit all day in a comfortable chair and watch ball games, but I don't need a blanket.
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
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
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
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
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
I don't feel an obligation to give everyone a hard time, but when they're important people, it's fun.
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
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 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
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.
Don Rickles
