I think sex is overrated. I don't have sex appeal and I know it. As a matter of fact, I think I'm rather funny looking. My teeth are funny, for one thing, and I have none of the attributes usually required for a movie queen, including the shapeliness.

How 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 Hepburn -
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It's not the most social pastime.

Whatever a man might do, whatever misery or heartache your children might give you - and they give you a lot - however much your parents irritate you - it doesn't matter because you love them.
Audrey Hepburn -
Cheating on a good woman is like choosing trash over treasure.
Audrey Hepburn -
For me the only things of interests are those linked to the heart.

Audrey Hepburn -
No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?

Promise me one thing: don't take me home until I'm drunk - very drunk indeed.
Audrey Hepburn -
I hope for better things, and I thank God the world is also full of people who want to be genuine and kind.
Audrey Hepburn -
Who thinks you're as fantastic as your dog does?

I speak for those children who cannot speak for themselves, children who have absolutely nothing but their courage and their smiles, their wits and their dreams.
Audrey Hepburn -
We all want to be loved, don't we? Everyone looks for a way of finding love. It's a constant search for affection in every walk of life.
Audrey Hepburn -
I went through a period of first successes. Then there was the inevitable change: the bad newspaper articles. Some people don't care about that, but I do. I'm hurt. I feel it. I don't think I've done anything dreadful. Sometimes you do things for reasons the press doesn't know. But I'm happy to go on as I have.
Audrey Hepburn -
And I always heard people in New York never get to know their neighbors.
