[On her UNICEF work:] I'm glad I've got a name, because I'm using it for what it's worth. ... I do not want to see mothers and fathers digging graves for their children.

My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
People 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.'

A 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.

Image
I am not beautiful. My mother once called me an ugly duckling. But,listed separately, I have a few good features.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside but it doesn't help if your ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
A woman can be beautiful as well as intellectual.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
My 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 Hepburn
Image
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
When I get married, I want to be really married
Audrey Hepburn
Image
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.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
If I get married, I want to be very married.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
You have to look at yourself objectively. Analyze yourself like an instrument. You have to be absolutely frank with yourself. Face your handicaps, don't try to hide them. Instead, develop something else.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
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.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
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
Image
I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.
