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.
Don RicklesI have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.
Don RicklesI'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 RicklesI never could tell a joke. I just started talking to the audience, and when the drunks would yell, "Hey, when do the broads come on?" I got good at saying, "Relax. Clear your skin up first." They called me "the insult guy," but it's never mean-spirited. I'm just exaggerating everything about us and about life.
