Don Rickles
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.

Everything I've ever done in my whole career, people might not know, I've never written anything down on paper.
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 throw your best punch, otherwise don't do it.
Don Rickles

Don Rickles
You've got to be able to sell yourself.
Don Rickles
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
Don Rickles

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
The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles
If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny.
Don Rickles
I was sitting in the toilet and I was by myself. I was tired of playing with the roller, so I said I'd better write a book.
Don Rickles
You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.
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
People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.
Don Rickles
