I knew most of the people there who ran the places, a lot of wiseguys. They're all gone now. All good people.

I do situations and make fun of authority and life.

When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying.

I never went out looking for glory.

Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.

I don't get into politics. I know [Donald] Trump, but I don't follow that. That's just an aside for him when he has nothing else to say. He never involved me in any of that stuff.

I always enjoy being full of fun, but I have my serious moments. Some women go for the studious kind of guy, I certainly was not that. If a girl is looking for somebody different and maybe a little more exciting for themselves - someone more on the fun side, I would suggest that they look for a type like Don Rickles.
