A Quote by Don Rickles

When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying. — © Don Rickles
When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying.
Never underestimate the importance of having fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day because there's no other way to play it.
I'm an 18-year-old boy, and I'm having fun. I'm just not having as much fun as people make out.
I never thought I had more fun when I was young than kids are having today. I think they have just as much fun. It's a different way to have fun.
I don't know how to not have fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun, and I'm going to keep having fun every day I've got left.
Good advice is just watch what you say on Facebook, on Twitter, on social networks because being sued is not fun. Filing a lawsuit is not fun. And being fired and having to do all of those things is not fun. So just avoid it.
Otherwise, as Dylan says, if you're not busy being born, you're busy dying.
I'm slightly pessimistic about human nature, about how close it's possible to bond with those around you. Dying alone is a deep fear for most people. I'm not scared of death but I'm scared of dying scared. Maybe everything else in life comes from those two points: the separation anxiety of childhood and the ultimate fear of dying alone.
The hollow horn plays wasted words, proves to warn that he not busy being born is busy dying.
There's that Bob Dylan quote: 'He who's not busy being born is busy dying.' That's a great line. And I really believe that.
I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left.
...when it came to dying, I was scared. Not of being dead, that I could not comprehend, to be nothing was impossible to grasp and therefore really nothing to be scared of, but the dying itself I could comprehend, the very instant when you know that now comes what you have always feared, and you suddenly realise that every chance of being the person you really wanted to be, is gone for ever, and the one you were, is the one those around you will remember.
Prior to having babies, I thought - I thought I was so busy, and now I realize just how ignorant I was.
I think my rookie, I was just having fun. I was 18, and I was living the American dream.
If you're not busy being born, you're busy dying.
He not busy being born is busy dying.
I was being taken around by a press agent at the Venice Film Festival at age 18. Was it fun? Sure. But it was a dangerous path to be walking on as far as having a substantive life. Because the casualty rate at the Venice Film Festival for 18-year-olds? High.
