Citações Audrey Hepburn
„❝ Eu amo as pessoas que me fazem rir. Honestamente eu acho que essa é a coisa mais importante, rir. Isso cura multidões. É provavelmente a coisa mais importante em uma pessoa.“
Variante: Eu amo as pessoas que me fazem rir. Sinceramente, acho que é a coisa que eu mais gosto, rir. Cura uma infinidade de males. É provavelmente a coisa mais importante em uma pessoa.
„Eu decidi, desde muito cedo, apenas aceitar a vida incondicionalmente. Eu nunca esperei que ela fizesse nada especial por mim, apesar de eu conseguir alcançar muito mais do que cheguei a imaginar. Na maioria das vezes essas coisas só aconteceram sem que eu procurasse por elas.“
I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seem to have accomplished far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

„I am proud to have been in a business that gives pleasure, creates beauty, and awakens our conscience, arouses compassion, and perhaps most importantly, gives millions a respite from our so violent world.“
Statement accepting the Screen Actors Guild Achievement Award, read by Julia Roberts, because of Audrey's failing health. (January 1993)
Contexto: I am more than ever awed and overwhelmed by the monumental talents it was my great, great privilege to work for and with. There is therefore no way I can thank you for this beautiful award without thanking all of them, because it is they who helped and honed, triggered and taught, pushed and pulled, dressed and photographed — and with endless patience and kindness and gentleness, guided and nurtured a totally unknown, insecure, inexperienced, skinny broad into a marketable commodity. I am proud to have been in a business that gives pleasure, creates beauty, and awakens our conscience, arouses compassion, and perhaps most importantly, gives millions a respite from our so violent world. Thank you, Screen Actors Guild and friends, for this huge honor — and for giving me this unique opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and love to all of those who have given me a career that has brought me nothing but happiness.

„Living is like tearing through a museum.“
As quoted in Audrey Hepburn : A Bio-bibliography (1994) by David Hofstede
Contexto: 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 all in at once.
„I always love it when people write me 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."“
How to be Lovely (2005)
Contexto: 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 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."
