#	Quote
1	[asked who makes him laugh] My wife, during sex.
2	I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous: everyone hasn't met me yet.
3	What a kid I've got. I told him about the birds and the bees, and he told me about the butcher and my wife.
4	I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
5	My cousin's gay. He went to London only to find out that Big Ben is a clock.
6	When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.
7	My wife was afraid of the dark. Then she saw me naked, and now she's afraid of the light.
8	I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice. I don't know if I'm coming or going.
9	I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.
10	My psychiatrist told me I was crazy, and I said I wanted a second opinion. He said, 'Okay, you're ugly too.'
11	I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.
12	I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.
13	Comedy is a camouflage for depression.
14	When I get in an elevator, the operator takes one look and says, "Basement?"
15	At my age, making love is like trying to shoot pool with a rope.
16	My mother never breast-fed me. She told me she liked me better as a friend.
17	I was ugly, very ugly. When I was born, the doctor smacked my mother.
18	Last week my house was on fire. My wife told the kids, 'Be quiet, you'll wake up Daddy'.
19	I was an ugly child. I got lost on the beach. I asked a cop if he could find my parents. He said, 'I don't know. There's lots of places for them to hide'.
20	My dog learned how to beg by watching me through the bedroom door.
21	If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.
22	To give you an idea how well I was doing at the time I quit [he had given up on show business in 1949], I was the only one who knew I quit.
23	I told my doctor that when I woke up in the morning I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror. He said, "At least we know your vision is perfect."
24	[in a 1986 interview, explaining the origin of his "no respect" routine] I had this joke: "I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me". To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: "I was so poor, I was so dumb", so this, so that. I thought, "Now what fits that joke?" Well, "No one liked me" was all right. But then I thought, "A more profound thing would be, 'I get no respect!' ".
25	[on 8/24/04, before entering a Los Angeles hospital for heart valve replacement surgery] If things go right, I'll be there about a week, and if things don't go right, I'll be there about an hour and a half.
26	My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.
27	I'm very lucky. Years ago they had images, like W.C. Fields, Laurel and Hardy, Groucho Marx. But today, I think I'm the only one around with an image. And that image is something everyone identified with. They all feel life treated 'em wrong and they got no respect.
28	I feel sorry for short people, you know. When it rains, they're the last to know.
29	My wife was afraid of the dark, saw me naked, now she's afraid of the light!
30	It's lonely on the top when there's no one on the bottom.
31	I don't get no respect, no respect at all!

#	Fact
1	He wanted to publish his own autobiography before he died. It ain't easy being me was released on may 25 2004 and he died less than 5 months later on October 5 2004.
2	One of the few actors to have played both God (in Angels with Angles (2005)) and Lucifer (in Little Nicky (2000).
3	According to director Oliver Stone, Dangerfield didn't understand Natural Born Killers (1994) during shooting and didn't understand what Stone was trying to do by shooting such a dark subject as a father molesting his daughter in the style of a 1950s sitcom. As such, he found it very difficult to perform his part. However, Stone was delighted that when the film came out, Dangerfield's performance was hailed as one of the movie's strongest points.
4	In 1990, Rodney filmed a pilot for TV entitled "Where's Rodney?" that was never picked up. It was a story about a 14 year old boy who was a great fan of Rodney, who was also named Rodney. He could summon him to help with life's problems.
5	Despite being known for playing belligerent losers, he was by all accounts a sensitive intelligent gentleman and resented being confused with his comedic persona.
6	He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures at 6366 Hollywood Blvd.
7	Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume 7, 2003-2005, pages 123-124. Farmington Hills, MI: Thomson Gale, 2007.
8	After he quit show business in 1949, he became an aluminum-siding salesman on Long Island. Eventually, he owned his own home improvement business, which he abandoned when he relaunched his career in the early 1960s.
9	The epitaph on his tombstone reads "There goes the neighborhood".
10	His 2004 autobiography, "It's Not Easy Bein' Me: A Lifetime of No Respect but Plenty of Sex and Drugs," was released posthumously.
11	His final appearance on a TV show was on Still Standing: Still Neighbors (2004), which aired on September 27, 2004, only eight days before his death.
12	He died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles of complications following heart valve replacement surgery he had undergone on August 25, 2004. After the surgery, he slipped into a "light coma," from which he emerged briefly before his death. He is buried at Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles.
13	Twice married to Joyce Indig (1949-62, 1963-70), he suffered a lifelong battle with depression and chronic lack of self-esteem. Comedy, he says, was his fix to escape reality.
14	Although there was Hollywood talk that his dramatic performance in Natural Born Killers (1994) was worthy of a supporting actor Oscar nomination, his application for membership in the Academy was rejected.
15	As a teenager, he started in stand-up comedy and changed his name to "Jack Roy". After nine years, he quit show business. When he returned in 1962, he wanted to change his name to distance himself from his previous failure. A club owner gave him the name of "Rodney Dangerfield" after Ricky Nelson used the name in an episode of The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet (1952). But "Jack Roy" remained his legal name for the rest of his life.
16	Based his famous "I get no respect" on The Godfather (1972), since he figured that "Vito Corleone" had respect. He also based it on an experience he had at a nightclub. One night, he saw an older, low-level gangster complaining about how young people gave him "no respect, no respect at all" and he never forgot it.
17	One of the great late bloomers of Hollywood. He was already near 60 when his first big movie, Caddyshack (1980), premiered in 1980.
18	Was hospitalized 24 August 2004 for heart valve-replacement surgery.
19	Published a biography in May 2004 entitled "It Ain't Easy Being Me". In it, he reveals that he was paid $35,000 to star in Caddyshack (1980), but in doing the movie, he lost $150,000 in would-be performances in Las Vegas.
20	Hit #89 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1983 with the song 'Rappin Rodney'
21	Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith. Pg. 130-132. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387
22	After regaining consciousness from his brain surgery, his first request was to watch Jerry Springer (1991).
