Fresh Air talks with Joan Rivers. About her worst onstage experience, she says:
The worst thing that ever happened to me on stage is someone ran forward to tell me they loved me and projectile vomited all over the stage. It was horrible.
...Oh, God, it got on everything. The orchestra was gagging. Once somebody starts to vomit, everybody joins in. It was awful.

How does she know the person running toward stage meant to tell her he/she loved her? I kid...
On juggling motherhood and career:
"When I was pregnant, I was sitting with a very famous comedienne and her little girl in the park, and her little girl fell down and cut her knee — and ran to the nanny. And I said right then and there, 'My child will run to me.' And I, from the beginning — we stopped everything at 6 p.m. We always had a family dinner even if we went out afterward and had another dinner with friends. Everything stopped at 6.
The documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work will be in limited release starting June 11.
