"I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one..." — Lucille Ball

I've seen 'Mork & Mindy' a couple times. Robin Williams amazes me. And I love Gary Coleman. He puts me away. He puts everybody away.

How to do half-hour comedy innovatively is something I do pride myself on. We invented it with 'I Love Lucy.'

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

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.
