Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others. (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. View quote
Audrey Hepburn
I am more than ever awed and overwhelmed by the monumental talents it was my great, great privilege to work for and with. There is therefore no way I can thank you for this beautiful award without thanking all of them, because it is they who helped and honed, triggered and taught, pushed and pulled, dressed and photographed - and with endless patience and kindness and gentleness, guided and nurtured a totally unknown, insecure, inexperienced, skinny broad into a marketable commodity. I 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. Thank you, Screen Actors Guild and friends, for this huge honor - and for giving me this unique opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and love to all of those who have given me a career that has brought me nothing but happiness.

All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair Oh wouldn't it be loverly Lots of choc'late for me to eat Lots of coal makin' lots of heat. Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, Oh wouldn't it be loverly Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still I would never budge 'til Spring crept over my window sill. Someone's head restin' on my knee Warm and tender as he can be, Who takes good care of me Oh wouldn't it be loverly Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly. View quote

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicisation of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanisation of politics. View quote

I can testify to what UNICEF means to children, because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II. (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. View quote
Audrey Hepburn
Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you. View quote
Audrey Hepburn
My life isn't theories and formulas. It's part instinct, part common sense. Logic is as good a word as any, and I've absorbed what logic I have from everything and everyone ... from my mother, from training as a ballet dancer, from magazine, from the laws of life and health and nature. View quote
Audrey Hepburn
I 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. View quote
Audrey Hepburn
In Holland and Belgium, and afterwards in England, my happiest moments were in the country. I've always had a passion for the outdoors, for trees, for birds and flowers. View quote

There must be something wrong with those people who think Audrey Hepburn doesn't perspire, hiccup or sneeze, because they know that's not true. In fact, I hiccup more than most. View quote

Audrey Hepburn
I always love it when people write me 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." View quote
Audrey Hepburn
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. (Audrey Hepburn)
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain. View quote
Audrey Hepburn
I don't believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility. View quote
Audrey Hepburn
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. View quote

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. View quote
