“I'm not funny. What I am is brave.”

Words by Lucille Ball (1911-1989) — Actress and comedian, star of I Love Lucy.

About this quote

Comedy often relies less on natural wit and more on the willingness to risk looking foolish. Lucille Ball suggests that her success came from physical commitment and fearlessness rather than effortless jokes. It reframes humour as an act of courage, reminding us that achieving great things requires stepping out of your comfort zone, taking risks, and embracing vulnerability without any fear of ridicule.

This line comes from Lucille Ball, the star of I Love Lucy, reflecting on her career as a pioneer of physical comedy in mid-twentieth-century American television.

People often hang this in a creative studio or home office as an encouraging reminder to take bold risks.
