Don Rickles

My grandchildren just know me now as Mr. Potato Head.

I was 28 when my father died, and I was an only child.

Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.
