Audrey Hepburn

I never think of myself as an icon. I just do my job.

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.

The beauty of the natural world lies in the details.

I heard a definition once: Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside but it doesn't help if you're ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up.

I decided, very early on, just to be myself. No matter what.

There is more to feminine charm than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness.

Since the world has been unfair to many without giving them their dessert, I've decided to spoil myself.

Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.

A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease.

I can testify to how children are so often born into areas of the most desperate poverty, but their smiles are still the joy of the world.

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.

It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come last. This way, there is no disappointment.

The 'success' of my life is going on a daily basis, being in a play or a work that I love and letting it feed me, giving it my attention and my enthusiasm.

I was one of those people who put fairy tales behind me, but now I realize they were the best training in the world.

You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.

I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, and the sky.

The greatest victory we can win is to live our lives with grace and kindness.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. That's the only way to get through it.
