It's bigger on the inside

Harry Potter + The Office

“I remember her long hair, her bare feet, which as a little boy I often caressed while she put her makeup on. Whenever she had to go to a dinner or a cocktail party, she would always say, ‘Oh, if only I could only stay home and eat in the kitchen with you’. I remember school days, cramming for exams for which she probably fretted more than I did. She would test me before bed and again in the morning, waking up with a sort of sleepy head only adults enjoy. I remember her elation at good grades, her support and positiveness for the not so good ones. I remember sleepovers on weekends, when we would chat with the lights out, during those precious few moments before one falls asleep. We would talk about feelings and plans and people and things, but in that way that is specific to that darkness, like two souls suspended. I am often asked what it was like to have a famous mother. I always answer that I don’t know. I knew her first as my mother and then as my best friend. She wanted to be a mother very much so when she had the opportunity, she did it to the fullest extent of the law.” Sean Hepburn Ferrer

“She used to surprise my friends with how casual she was. They expected something incredible and instead found just a nice person.” - Luca Dotti

“She resented the word ‘star’; she thought it was silly. And every time she’d realize that she was becoming too serious, too self-involved, she would poke fun at herself.” Robert Wolders

“Audrey was meek, gentle, and ethereal, understated both in her life and in her work. She walked among us with a light pace, as if she didn’t want to be noticed. I regret losing her as friend, as a role model, and as a companion to my youthful dreams.” Sophia Loren

“She taught me how to dress and I taught her how to curse.” Shirley MacLaine

“She was thoughtful and loving and full of care. I remember one Easter, she arrived here, and she had this huge box from a great chocolatier in Lausanne, and the box of litte eggs, the most beautiful thing, and she lugged it all the way from Switzerland! And flowers, and letters…” Connie Wald

“She’s the kind of girl you know your mother would love, the kind they built best selling musicals around.” Frank Sinatra

“The extraordinary mystique of hers made you think she lived on rose petals and listened to nothing but Mozart, but it wasn’t true. She was quite funny and ribald. She could tell a dirty joke. She played charades with a great sense of fun and vulgarity, and she could be quite bitchy.” André Previn

“She was actually very happy about growing older because it meant more time for herself, more time for her family, and separation from the frenzy of youth and beauty that is Hollywood. She was very strict about everybody’s time in life.” Luca Dotti

“She did the best that we could be; she was perfectly charming and perfectly loving. She was a dream. And she was the kind of dream that you remember when you wake up smiling.” Richard Dreyfuss

“She shared her joy with friends, but kept her unhappy moments to herself.” Hubert de Givenchy

“Audrey gave more than she ever got. The whole world is going to miss her.” Steven Spielberg

“Audrey was a lady with an elegance and charm that was unsurpassed, except by her love for underprivileged children all over the world. God has a most beautiful new angel now that will know just what to do in heaven.” Elizabeth Taylor

“The generosity, sensitivity, the nobility of her service to the hildren of the world and the mothers of the world will never be forgotten.” Gregory Peck

“Everything you have read, heard, or wished to be true about Audrey Hepburn doesn’t come close to how wonderful she was. There’s not a human being on earth that was kinder, more gentle, more caring, more giving, brighter, and more modest than Audrey. She was just an extraordinary, extraordinary person.” Richard Shepherd

“In a cruel and imperfect world, she was living proof that God could still create perfection.” Rex Reed

“Audrey sensed very early in her life and career that self-worth based on fame or beauty is very short-lived, and so she remained forever herself - realistic, aware, and caring.” Robert Wolders

“She was so gracious and grateful that everybody fell in love with her after five minutes. Everybody was in love with this girl, I included. My problem was that I am a guy who speaks in his sleep, I toss around and talk and talk… But fortunately, my wife’s first name is Audrey as well.” Billy Wilder 

“Audrey was the kind of person who, when she saw someone else suffering, tried to take the pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love.” Shirley MacLaine

“I think that there are few people in one’s life that you never really feel that they’re gone. I have to remind myself that she isn’t around.” Blake Edwards

“Audrey definitely had a good heart, there was nothing mean or petty - it’s a character thing. She had a good character, so I think people picked up on that too. She didn’t have any of the backstabbing, grasping, petty, gossipy personalities that you see in this business. I liked her a lot; in fact, I loved Audrey. It was easy to love her.” Gregory Peck

“Sparkling Audrey, magic Audrey, sublime Audrey, fascinating Audrey. I stop right there because words fail me. Just one more. Eternal Audrey.” Hubert de Givenchy

“She believed in love. She believed love could heal, fix,mend, and make everything fine and good in the end… and it did. She left us with peace and serenity and her passage was almost devoid, of any pain.” Sean Hepburn Ferrer
