I'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.
Don RicklesI can sit all day in a comfortable chair and watch ball games, but I don't need a blanket.
Don RicklesI've never had a writer, and I'm proud of that. Everything I've perยญformed has been from my own head.
Don RicklesI have a problem, if the light goes on on TV and it blinks midnight, I don't know how to fix it.
