| | 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. |
| | I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone. |
| | I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person. |
| | 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. |
| | I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine. |
| | I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience. |
| | 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. |
| | I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it. |
| | If I get married, I want to be very married. |
| | My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses. |
| | People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. |
| | 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. |
| | Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same. |
| | There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion. (Holly Golightly) |
| | It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.' |
| | 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.' |
| | I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true. |
| | As a child, I was taught that it was bad manners to bring attention to yourself, and to never, ever make a spectacle of yourself... All of which I've earned a living doing. |
| | I'm not beautiful. My mother once called me an ugly duckling. But, listed separately, I have a few good features. |
