1. 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. 2. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
3. Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'm possible"!
5. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.
6. I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
7. I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.
8. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

15. I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.
16. 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.
17. I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.
18. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

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

32. When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.
33. I'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess!
34. I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
35. 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.
36. Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.

47. I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.
49. My life isn’t theories and formulae. 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 Vogue magazine, from the laws of life and health and nature.
50. For me the only things of interests are those linked to the heart.
51. Anyone who does not believe in miracles is not a realist.
52. Some people dream of having a big swimming pool. With me, it’s closets.

55. If I blow my nose, it gets written all over the world.
56. How shall I sum up my life? I think I've been particularly lucky. Does that have something to do with faith also? I know my mother always used to say: "Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap. God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first." So you have to make that effort. But at the end of a bad time or a huge effort, I've always had - how shall I say it? - the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.
57. 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.
57. 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.
58. 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.
59. I may not always be offered work, but I'll always have my family.

61. My own life has been much more than a fairy tale. I've had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties I've gone through, I've always gotten the prize at the end.
