martha and rosie on rosie's queen elizabeth costume:
\nms: who made this pearl studded, jewel encrusted gorgeous dress?
\nrd: martha, i threw it together last night! i can hardly walk. i don't know how queens do this. and by that, i mean gay men too. \n

\nrosie on her former executive producer/martha's current executive producer, bernie young:
\nms: look at bernie all dressed up!
\nrd: i would like to say that it does feel mildly annoying that for six years when he was the executive producer on my show, he never once dressed up for halloween!
\nms: you know, you could give him lashes. you are the queen.
\nrd: that's right! and i shall do it during the commercial break. \n

\nrosie on working with martha on 'the martha stewart show':
\nms: we asked rosie to join us here, but she wanted too much money.
\nrd: you could have got me for the view rate.
\nms: who knows, we may revisit it.
\nrd: we'll revisit it, because frankly, i'm unemployed martha stewart.\n

\nrosie on her greatest weakness during the holiday season:
\nrd: for a mother of four, from halloween to thanksgiving, it is a living hell in my home.
\nms: everybody's bouncing off the wall?
\nrd: no - mommy is in bed; trying to go to sleep; thinking: there is an almond joy one flight down. i go through those kid's candy bags like you can't believe.\n

\nrosie and martha on global warming:
\nrd: what do you think of global warming?
\nms: i think it's a real problem.
\nrd: me too. you know how i know it's a real big problem? last week, my kids were in the pool - in october in new york.
