More quotes by Don Rickles
Smartphones. Who cares? Smartphones. I only have dummy phones.

Don Rickles
My whole act is off the top of my head.
Don Rickles
I never went out looking for glory.
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
I do situations and make fun of authority and life.
Don Rickles
Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.
Don Rickles
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.

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
To me, the stand up part in my life is great. I know I can do that. When I get an acting chance, I'm really thrilled.
