“I was nothing like her, but I felt I could ‘act’ Holly. I knew the part would be a challenge, but I wanted it anyway. I always wonder if I risked enough on that one. I should have been a little more outrageous. But at the time, as a new mother, I was about as wild as I could be. If only I were a Method player, huh? But the fact is, I didn’t really believe in the Method. I believed in good casting. And I’m still not sure about Holly and me…"

“In that absolutely sublime dress, with my hair dressed to kill, and diamonds everywhere, I felt super! All I had to do was walk down the staircase in Professor Higgins’ House, but the dress made me do it. Clothes, like they say, make the man, but in my case, they also gave me the confidence I often needed.”

“Style is a word we use often and for a multitude of purposes. In the case of my mother, Audrey Hepburn, it was the extension of an inner beauty held up by a life of discipline, respect for the other and hope in humanity. If the lines were pure and elegant it was because she believed in the power of simplicity. If there was timelessness it was because she believed in quality and if she still is an icon of style today, it is because once she found her look she stayed with it throughout her life. She didn’t go with the trends, didn’t reinvent herself every season. She loved fashion but kept it as a tool to compliment her look.” —Sean Hepburn Ferrer

”Anthony and Audrey developed a really good relationship, and he brought out a facet of her personality I had never seen before. At times, they acted like two young kids. I would say Tony seemed like a brother to Audrey and watched over her. If he saw her sitting by herself on the set, maybe looking a little sad, he would jump in, shaking her chair until he had her laughing, or getting her a cup of tea, telling her a joke - anything that would perk up her spirits.” —Bob Willoughby on Audrey and Anthony Perkins’ friendship

“I think I was very lucky, because I was sort of Willy's baby. Because he discovered me and nurtured me. He was very protective of me. He was never rough on me or hard on me or frightened me in any way."

— Audrey Hepburn on directed William Wyler

Hepburn starred in three films Wyler directed: Roman Holiday (1953), The Children’s Hour (1961), How to Steal a Million (1966).
