Audrey Hepburn

I was the only child of divorced parents, and I was very lonely. I had to learn to live with myself.

I was never very ambitious. I was very happy to stay at home and have children.

I was given a fairy-tale life, but it hasn't been a fairy tale.

I never thought I'd be a movie star. I was too tall, too skinny, and my feet were too big.

I'm not beautiful. My mother once called me an ugly duckling. But, listed separately, I have a few good features.

I was never very good at playing the Hollywood game.

I don't believe in miracles. I rely on them.

I was never very good at pretending to be someone else. I was always just me.

I was never very good at being a sex symbol. I was always a bit too serious for that.

I was never very good at being a glamorous movie star. I was always a bit too awkward.

I was never very good at being a Hollywood star. I was always a bit too European.

I was never very good at being a celebrity. I was always a bit too private.

I was never very good at being a fashion icon. I was always a bit too simple.

I was never very good at being a role model. I was always a bit too flawed.
