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.

Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.

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.

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

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.

It wasn't love at first sight. It took a full five minutes.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
