When someone says to me, do you do stand-up I say absolutely not. I like to think of it as a theatrical performance. With me the show changes maybe five to ten percent every night. Of course, whatever I see in front of me and sometimes I get on a little run about it and it changes the show. And my delivery is such that people who have seen me many times say Gee, I never heard that before. Actually, they have, but I might have changed it around.
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 RicklesI 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.
