“I’m not funny. What I am is brave”……………..”I cured myself of my shyness when it finally occurred to me that people didn’t think about me nearly as much as I gave them credit for… when I stopped being prisoner to what I was worried about which was others’ opinions of me, I became more confident and free.”…….”All actors and actresses, no matter how talented or famous, have ups and downs in their careers. It’s just the nature of the business. You have to learn to roll with the punches, and not take them personally.” ……..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.”…………”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
