I have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.
Don RicklesHalf the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Don RicklesI don't really tell a joke, I react to situations. The whole thing is just looking at somebody and showing all our weaknesses and exaggerating them, and that's how it becomes funny.
Don RicklesI've never been able to tell jokes. In the beginning of my career I did impressions and jokes like any other comedian, but I was never very successful because I did it poorly. So I started to talk to the audience and started talking about the atmosphere around me and started to become angry, not in a mean-spirited way, but in a fun way - and my attitude developed from there.
