More quotes by 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
Television is the quickest form of recognition in the world.
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'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
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
A man who correctly guesses a woman`s age may be smart, but he's not very bright.
Lucille Ball
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Lucille Ball
Luck? Luck is hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
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 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
Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.
Lucille Ball
I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.
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
Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
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 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
Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.
Lucille Ball
I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.
Lucille Ball
I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
Lucille Ball
