Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.

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
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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

Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.

It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.

A man who correctly guesses a woman`s age may be smart, but he's not very bright.

Image
I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one.
Lucille Ball

Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.
Lucille Ball

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.

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.

How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we'd profit from them.
Lucille Ball
Image
I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.
Lucille Ball
Image
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
Image
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.

Love yourself first and everything falls into line.
Lucille Ball
Image
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.

Television is the quickest form of recognition in the world.
