More quotes by 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
Television is the quickest form of recognition in the world.
Lucille Ball
I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.
Lucille Ball
I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.
Lucille Ball
It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.
Lucille Ball
I believe that we're as happy in life as we make up our minds to be.
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
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 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
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Lucille Ball
I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
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
How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we'd profit from them.
Lucille Ball
Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.
Lucille Ball
Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.
Lucille Ball
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
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
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
I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one.
Lucille Ball
