Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush; otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Love yourself first and everything falls into line.
