Danh ngôn của Don Rickles (Sứ mệnh: 2)

Who picks your clothes - Stevie Wonder?
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
You can't study comedy; it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.
Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.
You know what's funny to me? Attitude.
Some people say funny things, but I say things funny.
You throw your best punch, otherwise don't do it.
If I have learned anything, it is to keep my wife happy by sending her lavish gifts. Other men can learn from my success and send their wives and girlfriends fresh flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, and of course, Valentine's Day.
I stopped smoking. But my personality I still have. I get up in the morning, and not everybody loves me, so if you want to call that a bad habit, there's that.
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, 'Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?'
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
Bob Hope was totally regimented. I go in and say a line like, 'Hi Bob' and I'd have to do it five times, and then Bob would take me to the writers to say the line different ways. He wouldn't let me ad-lib.
I was in World War II; I cried when they took me in the Navy. That's the last time I cried.
Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.
I like to think I'm like the guy who goes to the office Christmas party Friday night, insults some people, but still has his job Monday morning.
Most people think the character I do onstage is the way I am offstage, but I'm just a regular guy who spends time with his family and who turns on the television and watches a lot of sports.
I did a few movies, but the word 'star'... I cannot compare to a star like Clint Eastwood. I used to call Clint 'Larry Dickman' when he would come to my show; then, he started using the name when he would go under cover in a 'Dirty Harry' movie. That's why he's a movie star... he's so creative.
Whatever you do to gain success, you have to hang in there and hope good things happen. Always think positive.
