As a matter of fact, I rather feel like expressing myself now.
Audrey Hepburn -
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!

The 'Third World' is a term I don't like very much, because we're all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering.
Audrey Hepburn -
Remember, 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 Hepburn -
If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.
Audrey Hepburn -
You 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 Hepburn -
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements.
Audrey Hepburn -
I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing "Funny Face" when I couldn't sing and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.

And...I think that's what life is all about, actually, about children and flowers.
Audrey Hepburn -
If you ever need a helping hand, it is at the end of your arm. As you get older you must remember you have a second hand. The first one is to help yourself. The second hand is to help others.
Audrey Hepburn -
You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.

This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain's very important. That's when Paris smells its sweetest. It's the damp chestnut trees.
Audrey Hepburn -
Can I have a silk nightgown with rosebuds on it?
Audrey Hepburn -
It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don't want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn't it?

When I wear a silk scarf I never feel so definitely like a woman, a beautiful woman.
Audrey Hepburn -
You can only hope to get a combination of happy work and a happy life.
Audrey Hepburn -
I 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 Hepburn -
Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.
Audrey Hepburn -
People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognise the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening. In the Sudan, for example, they call a water pump UNICEF.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
Audrey Hepburn -
Some people dream of having a big swimming pool. With me, it’s closets.
Audrey Hepburn -
What would be awful would be to die and look back miserably - seeing only the bad things, the opportunities missed, or what could have been.
Audrey Hepburn -
Gardening is the greatest tonic and therapy a human being can have. Even if you have only a tiny piece of earth, you can create something beautiful, which we all have a great need for. If we begin by respecting plants, it's inevitable we'll respect people.
