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.

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

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.

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

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.

You see much more of your children once they leave home.

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