Audrey's Words
"There is a Dutch saying. 'Don't fret; it will happen differently anyway.' I believe that."
"I lack self confidence. I don't know whether I shall ever get it. Perhaps it is better to be unsure of yourself, as I am. But it is very tiring."
"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."
"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."
"What would be awful would be to die and look back miserably--seeing only the bad things, the opportunities missed, or what could have been."
"When I was a child, I didn't even comprehend the meaning of the words 'film star.'"
"Look, whenever I hear or read I'm beautiful, I simply don't understand it... I'm certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn't make my career on beauty."
"Prized possession: My dogs. I'm potty about them."
What Others Say
"After so many drive-in waitresses becoming movie starts--it has been a real drought--here is class, somebody who actually went to school, can spell, and possibly play the piano. She may be a wispy thin little thing, but you're really in the presence of something when you see that girl... That's the element people have or don't have... She started something new, she started something classy." -Billy Wilder
"She's the kind of girl you know Mother would love, the kind they built best selling musicals around." -Frank Sinatra
"...most men who worked with her felt both fatherly or brotherly about her, while harboring romantic feelings about her... she was the love of my life." -William Holden
"First I realized that I had a mom, and she was a pretty great mom...I think people love her for the right reasons and I think she was deserving of that love." -son, Sean
"She embraced everyone as a n acquaintance, but very few people were admitted to her inner circle. She had the ability to keep people at a distance without being in the least bit rough or unkind." -Stanley Donen
"I like to think of her a spunky... She was a cutup, she was a clown... She was a comic." -Gregory Peck
"Her secret was her bubble--an internal bubble that you were waiting to come out--of humor." -Roger Moore
"This woman could single handedly make bosoms a thing of the past!"
-Billy Wilder
