Lucille Ball

1 - 2

Ability is of little account without opportunity.
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 am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one.
Lucille Ball

I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.
Lucille Ball

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.
Lucille Ball

I regret the passing of the studio system. I was very appreciative of it because I had no talent.
Lucille Ball

I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
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

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
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'm not funny. What I am is brave.
Lucille Ball

I'm sometimes scared of everything that has happened to us. We didn't think Desilu Productions would grow so big. We merely wanted to be together and have two children.
Lucille Ball

If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.
Lucille Ball

In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.
Lucille Ball

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

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

Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead.
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

The more things you do, the more you can do.
Lucille Ball
