#Quote
1On mothering: To me, life is tough enough without having someone kick you from the inside.
2If you want to break up with a man, tell him, 'I love you. I want to marry you. I want to have your children. I want us to grow old together and be with each other forever.' Sometimes they leave skid marks.
3I wanted to have children, but my friends scare me. One of my friends told me she was in labor for thirty-six hours. I don't even want to do anything that feels good for thirty-six hours.
4I suffer from peroxide phobia. Every time I've gotten near a blond woman, something of mine has disappeared. Jobs, boyfriends...one time an angora sweater leaped right off my body.
5Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.
6Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love, though I'd stepped in it a few times.
7In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.
8I don't swear. When I do, my husband gets out the tape recorder. Once, when I was first doing comedy, there were only five people in the audience, so I did my whole act swearing every other word. All the waitresses and people at the bar ran in yelling, 'Rita's swearing! Rita's swearing! Everyone come!'
9My husband gave me a necklace. It's fake. I requested fake. Maybe I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head.

7Release of her book, "Tickled Pink: A Comic Novel" [2001]
8She and her husband have written (April 2013) the sitcom, The Rita Rudner Show for BBC Radio 4.
9Her first novel "Tickled Pink" was written in 2001. It is a semi-autobiographical tale about a dancer who moves to New York to find success and turns to comedy.
10Hoping for her own sitcom like other comedians in the 1980s, Rita did at least a half-dozen pilots but they never came to fruition.
11Moved to California in the late 80s and met husband Martin Bergman, an Englishman, whom she met when he was producing stand-up comedy shows. Together, they wrote the film Peter's Friends (1992) that co-starred then-married Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson.
12Moved her five-year act at Las Vegas' New York-New York casino to Harrah's on October 6, 2006.
13Kooky, slightly vapid-looking American stand-up comedienne whose specialized brand of neurotic comedy was inspired by idols Jack Benny, Woody Allen, and Bob Newhart.
14Originally moved to New York from Miami at age 15 to study ballet and pursue a career as a Broadway dancer. She decided to go for comedy because women's stand-up was a less competitive field in 1980.
15First big break was being booked on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962) in January 1988.
16Her second novel is "Turning the Tables" published by Shaye Areheart Books in 2006.
17She and husband Martin are among the writers working on a musical "Natural Woman," based on the music of Carole King and Gerry Goffin.
18She and Martin Bergman have a daughter, Molly, adopted in 2002.
