Lucy Quotations

Lucy Mercedes Martinez, my mother, was probably my first mentor. She really tried to take care of me in spite of myself, and in spite of her own struggles with alcohol.

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 never thought I would become amazing. I never thought I would be as great as my father. I would like to continue writing novels, and hopefully, at some point, I would like to make the switch from being 'Stephen Hawking's daughter' to 'novelist Lucy Hawking,' and that will be a fabulous day.

As a child and a teenager, my attitudes and actions assumed the superiority of my race in almost every way without knowing or wanting to know anybody who was black, except Lucy. Lucy came to our house on Saturdays to help my mother clean. I liked Lucy, but the whole structure of the relationship was demeaning.

I would say that Lucy, 'I Love Lucy,' she was my idol.

When I realized, in 1978, that Lucy did represent a new species of human ancestor, and that I had an opportunity to name this new species, I realized this was a revolutionary step in understanding human origins.

Lucy-my God, Lucy was a brilliant, brilliant clown, but she was terribly miscast. But we would have never gotten the money for the production if she hadn't wanted to do it.

Lucy came out ready to play. But it was a good, balanced effort for us.

Of course I loved 'I Love Lucy' and saw every episode over and over again. I found it heartbreaking that Ricky got to be famous and have an exciting life at the Tropicana while Lucy was stuck in that terrible apartment with the Mertzes.

But it was scary because when I met with Cameron, we were both sniffing around each other trying to decide what the tone would be. I didn't want to do Lucy and Desi ... I knew where the traps were. I was nervous about making it spontaneous and awkward, but at the same time giving it a kind of dignity.

I have always wanted to be a cartoonist, and I feel very blessed to have been able to do what I love for almost 50 years, ... That all of you have embraced Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus and all the other Peanuts characters has been a constant motivation for me.

I have always loved fantasy; I think probably stepping through the wardrobe with Lucy in C.S. Lewis's 'Narnia Chronicles' was my first exposure when I was really little.

When Lucy met Peter, who was a toddler at the time, she immediately became his nanny. From that point on I never had to worry about him getting into trouble.

To my Lucy I now offer myself with my stock, wares and chattels and all the devotedness of heart attached to such an enthusiastic being as I am.

It really provides the answer to 'Where did the Lucy species come from?

For comedy to be good, it has to be played straight. And again, the greatest example of this is Lucy Ball. No matter how wild the shows were that we did, no matter how bizarre the situations were, they were never played as if they were funny. They were played like serious incidents of ordinary everyday life. And that's why they are terribly funny and are still considered classic comedies.

I Love Lucy was never just a title!
