#	Quote
1	I don't think just funny is enough on Broadway.
2	I don't think actors get good training today. I put my training to use in everything I do.
3	I felt like a loser. I was unhappy as a child most of the time. We were terribly poor and I hated my size.
4	Well, they put me in a booth and then did some nice things to the speaker to make it come out sounding okay.
5	My idol was Jack Benny and he was the master of subtlety and timing.
6	We began to do little things, have little scenes where we just talked about things that had nothing to do with the plot. In fact, in the beginning, they didn't want us to do that. But as time went on, you see that in so many shows. I think we were the first to do that.
7	Mainly, I thought of Barney as a kid. You can always look into the faces of kids and see what they're thinking, if they're happy or sad. That's what I tried to do with Barney.

#	Fact
1	Like his best friend Andy Griffith, Knotts was also known to be a very private man.
2	Never retired from acting.
3	Best friends with the late Andy Griffith.
4	Best remembered by the public for his roles as Deputy Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show (1960) and as Ralph Furley on Three's Company (1976).
5	In 1988, he had a recurring guest role on Matlock (1986), starring with his old friend Andy Griffith; reuniting him with Griffith 20 years after The Andy Griffith Show (1960).
6	Was longtime friends with the late John Ritter. When he was on stage in Kansas City, Missouri, doing "On Golden Pond", he received a phone call about Ritter's death. He attended the funeral on September 15, 2003, just four days after Ritter's death. Before that, Knotts had appeared with Ritter one final time in a cameo on 8 Simple Rules (2002). It was an episode that paid homage to their earlier television series. Knotts was the last Three's Company (1976) star to work with him.
7	Made a rare public appearance at the "Ray and Sharon Court's Hollywood Collector's Show" in North Hollywood, California with his The Andy Griffith Show (1960) co-star Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou). He sold autographed pictures and his autobiography book and people waited up to an hour and a half in line to greet him. [April 2000]
8	He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7083 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on January 19, 2000.
9	He was nominated for a 1973 Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Guest Artist for his performance in the play, "The Mind with the Dirty Man", at the Arlington Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.

11	Received a special tribute as part of the Annual Memorial tribute at The 79th Annual Academy Awards (2007).
12	Don ceased to be a regular on The Andy Griffith Show (1960) after 1965 because originally, the show's producers had intended to end the series after that year, still at a creative and popular peak. Knotts had already signed a multi-picture deal with Universal Studios when Griffith relented to network pressure and kept his show on the air for several more years. Don said later that he deeply regretted having to leave the show, but his film commitments prevented him from continuing as a cast regular.
