If Lucille Ball were still alive, she’d turn 100 this week.  In honor of this, here’s a few of her most memorable quotes:


        

How was “I Love Lucy“ born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we’d profit from them.

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

I’m sometimes scared of everything that has happened to us. We didn’t think Desilu Productions would grow so big. We merely wanted to be together and have two children.

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

I’m not funny. What I am is brave.

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.

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