More quotes by Lucille Ball
Love yourself first and everything falls into line.
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
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Lucille Ball
remember to recognize the small successes that you will have. Don't let the brightness of that big goal blind you to what happens on the way toward the goal. Meet one wave at a time and enjoy what progress you make. I want you please not to be taken up in the undertow of pessimism.
Lucille Ball
I believe that we're as happy in life as we make up our minds to be.
Lucille Ball
Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.
Lucille Ball
I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.
Lucille Ball
I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
Lucille Ball
Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.
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
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
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
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
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
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
People either have comedy or they don't. You can't teach it to them.
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'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
Now get the hell out of here and go change the world.
Lucille Ball
Luck? Luck is hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
