More quotes by 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
A man who correctly guesses a woman`s age may be smart, but he's not very bright.
Lucille Ball
I believe that we're as happy in life as we make up our minds to be.
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
I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.
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
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 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
Now get the hell out of here and go change the 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
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
Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.
Lucille Ball
It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.
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
Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.
Lucille Ball
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
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
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
