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.

TV started for me just as a means of keeping my husband Desi off the road. He'd been on tour with his band since he got out of the Army, and we were in our 11th year of marriage and wanted to have children.

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

You spell Bob Hope C-L-A-S-S.

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

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

I dyed my hair this crazy red to bid for attention. It has become a trademark, and I've got to keep it this way.

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 wanted to get out of the pictures and stay home so that I could have children.

I'm not funny. What I am is brave.

You know what it would just be amazing to be remembered, you know like a mum telling a daughter ‘the boyband of my time, One Direction, they just had fun and they’re just normal guys but terrible, terrible dancers.’

When I'm at home alone, I run up the stairs naked. It's quite funny.

I had this dream...that we had this new sixth member, for some reason, and he actually ended up being quite horrible! And he started a fight with me! And I wanted him to go away and none of the boys were helping me!

I'd like to make a shout out...SHOUT OUT!

I can't really cook, but the first dish I ever made was for my girlfriend, Eleanor. I made chicken breast wrapped in ham, homemade mashed potatoes, and gravy.

You can't go to sleep without a cup of tea and maybe thats the reason that you talk in your sleep.

I secretly want to be a zebra. That is why I always wear stripes.

Sometimes I think I'm not normal, and I get weirder and weirder everyday.

In week one of the X Factor, just to be a little bit quirky, I decided to say that I like girls who eat carrots. Ever since I've had lots and lots and lots of carrots.

Fans always tell me I'm beautiful, but no one will ever be as beautiful as them

To be honest, I don't think I'm the best role model in the world. I'm pretty immature sometimes.

If you wanna go somewhere, you can do; nothing is stopping you.

I like kisses that aren't too fast or rushed - that's what makes a good kiss.
