The Man I Adored, And Miss Him

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.

I Don't Do Impressions.

People Think Being In Your Seventies Means Sitting Around In A Chair With A Blanket Over Your Legs, Drooling.

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.

My Main Success Was An Attitude. Always An Attitude.
