Don Rickles Guy Quotations

An insult is mean or unkind. Milton Berle called me the Sultan of Insult, and I was called the King of Insult. But the guy that gave me the best title - and I use it to this day - was Johnny Carson. He called me Mr. Warmth.

Even when I was in high school and the Navy, I was the guy who could rip somebody, and they'd laugh at it.

When I walk down the street in New York, I swear to God, the building constructor, the guy pounding cement and what not, will yell, 'Hey, you hockey puck!'

Bob Newhart, who is my best friend, is one of the guys I adore.

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.

When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.

I've never had guys sit me down and say this is what you've got to do. It's my personality that makes me one of a kind, and I believe that.

I would describe myself as a guy that's very normal but has the tendency to rib people, but never in a mean-spirited way.

I was always the guy - out of insecurities, I was always making fun, even as a kid.

To my knowledge, I was the first guy really to do what I do. And then later on different comedians started trying doing it.

I 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.
