More quotes by Audrey Hepburn

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

How to be Lovely‎ (2005)

I am more than ever awed and overwhelmed by the monumental talents it was my great, great privilege to work for and with.

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.

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."

How to be Lovely‎ (2005)

I'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!
