I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.
Don RicklesI still think funny, and people young and old still come and see me. That's flattering. The day comes that they stop coming, then I'll know that it's time to retire to the Jewish ranch.
Don RicklesTo 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 RicklesWhat I do is, I make fun of people and I make fun of myself and things around us and exaggerate things. And I'm never mean-spirited. See, the word insult means some guy who's a real unkind human being. But I don't do that, because otherwise I wouldn't be headlining all these years, thank god, and all these people showing up to see me.
