Одри Хепбёрн цитаты

из книги Мелиссы Хеллстерн «How to be Lovely‎» (2005)
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.

из книги Мелиссы Хеллстерн «How to be Lovely‎» (2005)
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.»
Вариант: Люди ассоциируют меня с тем временем, когда фильмы были приятны, когда женщины в кино носили красивые платья, и играла прекрасная музыка. Обожаю, когда люди пишут мне, чтобы сказать «У меня было ужасное настроение, я зашёл в кино, посмотрел один из Ваших фильмов, и всё изменилось».

Одри Хепберн о своем детстве.

из книги Мелиссы Хеллстерн «How to be Lovely‎» (2005)
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.
Вариант: Когда я была ребёнком, меня учили, что неприлично привлекать к себе внимание, и никогда нельзя выставлять себя напоказ… Именно то, чем я зарабатываю всю жизнь.

из книги Дэвида Хофстеда «Audrey Hepburn: A Bio-bibliography» (1994)
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.

Игра слов.

Вариант: Всегда лучше быть не победителем, а неудачником, жертвой несправедливости. Всё дело в том, что я всегда чувствовала себя неудачницей. Всегда, на протяжении всей своей карьеры.

Я горжусь, что занималась делом, которое приносит удовольствие, создает красоту, пробуждает совесть, вызывает сострадание и, может быть самое главное, дает миллионам возможность отдохнуть от нашего такого жестокого мира. Благодарю Вас : Гильдию актеров кино и друзей, за эту огромную честь и за эту уникальную возможность выразить мою глубочайшую благодарность и любовь ко всем тем, кто подарил мне карьеру, которая принесла мне одно лишь счастье.
Джулия Робертс зачитывает письмо Одри к Гильдии киноактёров
на церемонии вручения Хепбёрн премии за выдающиеся заслуги в кино, которую она не смогла посетить из-за ухудшившегося здоровья
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.

This passage and slight variants of it have been widely attributed to Audrey Hepburn long after her death (for example, in Glamour March 2012, page 78); but no evidence of its existence has been found during Hepburn’s lifetime, attributed to Hepburn or anyone else. It has not been found in print before 2008.
