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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I love 'I Love Lucy,' and I have the DVD set of 'I Love Lucy.'
I am not interested in considering another TV series. This one was a wonderful experience which will be hard to top, and It's caused me to turn down several good film opportunities because of the schedule.
I'm not going to leave one of the best shows to do another TV show.
Series television is either a nightmare or the best thing in the whole world. It really depends on, I think, where you are in your life.
My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air.
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.
I want a TV series, I'm gonna do some acting jobs, I'm gonna do some Broadway jobs, everything!
I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.
There's a huge demand for my entertainment, and I can't meet the need. So I decided to try a TV show to reach as many of my fans as possible.
