There were the days when you peered into your self, into the secret places of your head, and what you saw there made you fear with horror. And then, next day, you didn't know what to make of it, you couldn't interpret the horror you had glimpsed the day before. Yes, you know what evil costs. Jean-Paul Sartre		Wednesday Jan 07, 2026

Other Audrey Hepburn Quotes

I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.

All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair; Oh wouldn't it be loverly? Lots of choc'late for me to eat; Lots of coal makin' lots of heat. Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, Oh wouldn't it be loverly? Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still! I would never budge 'til Spring crept over my window sill. Someone's head restin' on my knee; Warm and tender as he can be, Who takes good care of me; Oh wouldn't it be loverly? Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.

I never expected to be a star, never counted on it, never even wanted it. Not that I didn't enjoy it all when it happened.

I went through a period of first successes. Then there was the inevitable change: the bad newspaper articles. Some people don't care about that, but I do. I'm hurt. I feel it. I don't think I've done anything dreadful. Sometimes you do things for reasons the press doesn't know. But I'm happy to go on as I have.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairytales and I like them best of all.

In Holland and Belgium, and afterwards in England, my happiest moments were in the country. I've always had a passion for the outdoors, for trees, for birds and flowers.

It is too much to hope that I shall keep up my success. I don't ask for that. All I shall do is my best and hope.

There must be something wrong with those people who think Audrey Hepburn doesn't perspire, hiccup or sneeze, because they know that's not true. In fact, I hiccup more than most.

My life isn't theories and formulas. It's part instinct, part common sense. Logic is as good a word as any, and I've absorbed what logic I have from everything and everyone ... from my mother, from training as a ballet dancer, from magazine, from the laws of life and health and nature.

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

I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.

Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.
