More quotes by Lucille Ball
Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.
Lucille Ball
I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one.
Lucille Ball
I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
Lucille Ball
A man who correctly guesses a woman`s age may be smart, but he's not very bright.
Lucille Ball
It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.
Lucille Ball
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Lucille Ball
How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we'd profit from them.
Lucille Ball
I cured myself of shyness when it finally occurred to me that people didn't think about me half as much as I gave them credit for. The truth was, nobody gave a damn. Like most teenagers, I was far too self-centered. When I stopped being prisoner to what I worried was others’ opinions of me, I became more confident and free.
Lucille Ball
Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.
Lucille Ball
People either have comedy or they don't. You can't teach it to them.
Lucille Ball
There's a great deal of difference between temperament and temper. Temperament is something you welcome creatively, for it is based on sensitivity, empathy, awareness ... but a bad temper takes too much out of you and doesn't really accomplish anything.
Lucille Ball
Here's what I advise any young struggling actress today: The important thing is to develop as a woman first, and a performer second. You wouldn't prostitute yourself to get a part, not if you're in the right mind. You won't be happy, whatever you do, unless you're comfortable with your own conscience.
Lucille Ball
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
Lucille Ball
Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.
Lucille Ball
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Lucille Ball
Now get the hell out of here and go change the world.
Lucille Ball
I don't suppose that hard work, discipline, and a perfectionist attitude toward my work did me any harm. They are a big part of my makeup today, as any of my co-workers will tell you. And when life seemed unbearable, I learned to live in my imagination, and to step inside other people's skins- indispensable abilities for an actress.
Lucille Ball
I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.
Lucille Ball
I will never do another TV series. It couldn't top I Love Lucy, and I'd be foolish to try. In this business, you have to know when to get off.
Lucille Ball
I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.
Lucille Ball
