More quotes by Lucille Ball
It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.
Lucille Ball
I was shy for several years in my early days in Hollywood until I figured out that no one really gave a damn if I was shy or not, and I got over my shyness.
Lucille Ball
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Lucille Ball
I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
Lucille Ball
Now get the hell out of here and go change the world.
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
Love yourself first and everything falls into line.
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
My ideal of womanhood has always been the pioneer woman who fought and worked at her husband's side. She bore the children, kept the home fires burning she was the hub of the family, the planner and the dreamer.
Lucille Ball
I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.
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
Television is the quickest form of recognition in the world.
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
Luck? Luck is hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
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
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
Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.
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
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
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
