People think being in your seventies means sitting around in a chair with a blanket over your legs, drooling.
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.
