I went to high school with Al Capone.

My Latin temper blows up pretty fast, but it goes down just as fast. Maybe that's why you seldom hear of ulcers in Latin America.

Failure is the most terrible thing in our business. When we fail, the whole world knows about it.

The success of I Love Lucy is something that happens only once in a lifetime, if you are fortunate enough to have it happen at all.

American people have the ability to laugh at themselves. It is one of the things that makes this country the great country that it is.

The thing I remember about New York was how little I felt. I arrived with one small bag and $15.

I went to high school with Al Capone.

Lucy is such a perfectionist.

Motion-picture studio floors used to be all wooden and not smooth at all. This was difficult when moving a camera around on a dolly.

Al Jolson was one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived.

Lucy and I would love furiously and fight furiously.

Drinking intensifies all your pressures and your needs.

I don't think anyone can tell you what it is that makes you a star.

I learned a lot from Xavier Cugat.

Since I was very young I have always worked hard at whatever I have had to do.

The way the Army does things is sometimes a little strange.

At times we were criticized for doing too much slapstick. I don't believe in mild comedy, and neither does Lucy.

Everyone seemed to be doing well except me and my career. And my accent was no helping me any.

Nobody bats 500. We all make mistakes.

I had started calling her Lucy shortly after we met; I didn't like the name Lucille. That's how our television show was called I Love Lucy, not Lucille.

I learned a lot in those first years in Miami, while struggling just for survival, by observing my father's fortitude.

Good things do not come easy. The road is lined with pitfalls.

A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line.

An actor who is good at comedy can also be very good at drama, but not necessarily vice versa.

An audience is so important. I would never have had the guts to dub in that big a laugh.

Joe McCarthy and his Senate hearings were like witch-hunts.

When we got married, nobody gave it more than two weeks. There were bets all over the country, with astronomical odds against us.

One of my biggest problems with comedy was that I did not understand some of the jokes.

Its really amazing that two people from such different backgrounds and geographical origins ever got together. That was perhaps part of the attraction.

I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

I'm thinking of going to programming school. Learn how to sit down at any computer and learn to do anything on it. That's all I have left and have interest in.

I went to elementary school in Ottawa, and then to a private secondary school.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.

For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer.

In 1975 I decided that there was no future in flying (airline jobs were impossible to get, and who wants a job where you are judged only by seniority?) and headed off to grad school.

Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.

My grandmother was a teacher, my sister was a teacher, my daughter was a teacher and is now a superintendent in northern California, and my son-in-law is a high school principal. I am surrounded.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

A good dancer is an educated one, so don't abandon school.

In high school and college all my friends and my brother wrestled.

I was an elementary school teacher.

I would not be gotten into a schoolhouse until I was eight years old. Nor did I accomplish much after I started. I doubt if I had gone to school six months in all when my father died. I was fourteen at the time.

And I began to tell little anecdotes that had happened to me, and people would laugh. And I began to like that, you know. But I knew that, 'cause I'd do that in school, but I wouldn't do it out there in front of all them people.

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I - if I'm not interested in something, I don't grasp it.

I don't make my own schedule - it's constructed around my sons' school schedules.

Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.

The Professional Children's School, it's for professional kids, so if you wanted to ditch, you could just write, Audition on a note and leave. I didn't really like school all that much.

I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

I was actually going to law school in 1972.
