More quotes by Lucille Ball
I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.
Lucille Ball

Lucille Ball
Luck? Luck is hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

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
It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.
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
A man who correctly guesses a woman`s age may be smart, but he's not very bright.
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
How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we'd profit from them.
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
Television is the quickest form of recognition in the world.
