"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age."
"I am not funny. The writers were funny. My directors were funny. The situations were funny… What I am is brave. I have never been scared. Not when I did movies, certainly not when I was a model and not when I did I Love Lucy."

More quotes by Lucille Ball
"Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world."
"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."
"Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead."
"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."
"I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not."
