Redheads have a lightness, a craziness, a kookiness. Think of Lucille Ball.
I love Lucille Ball. But you don't call that Shakespeare. It's just entertainment, you know. And if you like that, then go have a ball, have fun.
I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness.
I loved Lucille Ball growing up.
Jimmy Stewart and Lucille Ball were so unique.
Working with Lucille Ball was just a master class in how to do comedy.
Imagine the talented love-child of Andr Previn and Lucille Ball.
I have a great work ethic - from watching Lucille Ball, not necessarily my own family.
Most people don't deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Chaplin or Lucille Ball.
I think the worst thing you could ever do is label comedy. I'm a fan of the broadness of Lucille Ball, the subtlety of Peter Sellers and the oddballness of Fred Armisen and the wittiness of Marty Short. I'm a fan of all of it, and I want to do all of it.
In England we burnt redheads at the stake, because we thought they were witches. There are still young redheads in Britain getting ripped for having red hair. 'Oy, Ginger!'
As a child I wanted to be a kind of hybrid of Ferris Beuller, Ace Ventura, Bette Midler, and Lucille Ball.
Redheads were particularly persecuted during the European witch trials of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The colour was associated with the devil, and the pale skin which most redheads have was thought unnatural and deathly.
Which always raises the interesting question of whether redheads pursue other redheads in a narcissistic way, or simply, because they have no other choice, as nonredheads aren't interested.
The reason I do what I do is because I was influenced by Steve Martin, by Woody Allen, by Bob Newhart, by Carol Burnett, by Lucille Ball.
I wrote three years for Lucille Ball. She taught me everything I know about physical comedy...
The first thing I think of when I hear the name of Lucille Ball is a Hollywood legend. I have fond memories of growing up at her house, but she was a different person off the set than she was on the set.
