Audrey HepburnI'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess!
Audrey HepburnIf you lead a simple life, and that story is written, then that story will not satisfy. It needs an angle. Suppose there is no angle?
Audrey HepburnPeople, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Audrey HepburnThe more there is, the less I want. The more man flies to the moon, the more I want to look at a tree.
Audrey HepburnYou can even say that I hated myself at certain periods. I was too fat, or maybe too tall, or maybe just plain too ugly ... you can say my definiteness stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and inferiority. I couldn't conquer these feelings by acting indecisive. I found the only way to get the better of them was by adopting a forceful, concentrated drive.
Audrey HepburnThe beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
Audrey HepburnI donโt take my life seriously, but I do take what I do โ in my life โ seriously -
Audrey HepburnRemember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. I really hope no one misinterprets this quote as being about masturbation.
Audrey HepburnSince the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.
Audrey HepburnI am proud to have been in a business that gives pleasure, creates beauty, and awakens our conscience, arouses compassion, and perhaps most importantly, gives millions a respite from our so violent world.
Audrey HepburnWhatever you love most, you fear you might lose, you know it can change. Why do you look from left to right when you cross the street? Because you donโt want to get run over. But, you still cross the street.
Audrey HepburnI never expected to be a star, never counted on it, never even wanted it. Not that I didn't enjoy it all when it happened.
Audrey HepburnI never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.
Audrey HepburnA child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.
Audrey HepburnI have always had a reputation for being frugal - less kind people might call me cheap. But my interest in building up a nest egg goes back to those days in Arnhem when I learned that money can grow, just like trees.

Audrey Hepburnnothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Nothing. Not a career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we're going to survive with dignity.
Audrey HepburnI lack self-confidence. I don't know whether I shall ever get it. Perhaps it is better to be unsure of your self, as I am. But it is very tiring.
Audrey HepburnHow shall I sum up my life? I think I've been particularly lucky. Does that have something to do with faith also? I know my mother always used to say, 'Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap. God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first.' So you have to make that effort. But at the end of a bad time or a huge effort, I've always had - how shall I say it? - the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.
Audrey HepburnMy greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I'm a long way from the human being I'd liked to be, but I've decided I'm not so bad after all.
Audrey HepburnGood things aren't supposed to just fall into your lap. God is very generous, but He expects you to do your part first.
Audrey HepburnPeople associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'
