Growing up I wanted to be a mixture of Audrey Hepburn and Lucille Ball. Apparently I told my mum when I was eight that I wanted to be an actor.
I love watching the old movies. I love Katharine Hepburn. I just adore her and everything that she stood for. I find it interesting watching the likes of Gene Tierney and those classic movies of the '40s.
I love Audrey Hepburn, early Brooke Shields, and Madonna's eyebrows. I think it's beautiful if women look soft and touchable instead of hard, sharp and aggressively groomed.
I long for the old days of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, stars who had real glamour and mystique. We only knew so much about their lives; the rest was a mystery.
I have a fuller figure and sometimes like to hide my legs. Palazzo pants accentuate my small waist and make me feel a little like Katharine Hepburn.
I think it's just important to not judge people based on their physicality because it's really about personality and people's hearts and souls. That's what drew me to Audrey Hepburn who is kind of like my icon.
I would be surprised if they gave Meryl Streep her third Oscar for a film as light as 'Julie and Julia,' although, of course, Katharine Hepburn's third Oscar came with a very light performance from her in 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.'
I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really so ahead of her time.
Never in my life have I been captivated by by anybody onscreen the way I was when I saw Audrey Hepburn for the first time. She's everything a woman should be.
If only I could step back into the time of old movies, if only I could be given the opportunity to do what Katharine Hepburn did or what Rosalind Russell did. Those kinds of characters, that kind of patter, that kind of language, that kind of script....
Katharine Hepburn: I've got a better idea, take me flying! Or better yet, I'll take you flying! Howard Hughes: Do your worst, Miss Hepburn.
Howard Hughes: I read in the magazines that you play golf. Katharine Hepburn: On occasion... Howard Hughes: How 'bout nine holes? Katharine Hepburn: *Now*, Mr. Hughes?
Beauty is the purgation of superfluities.
What I fell in love with as a child was 'My Fair Lady,' 'Funny Face,' 'American in Paris,' and 'Singin' in the Rain.' Just perfect movies to me and I was dancing. I started ballet when I was three. And I fell in love with those movies and fell in lov...
Howard Hughes: Look at me, Kate. Stop acting. Katharine Hepburn: Ha. I'm not acting. Howard Hughes: I wonder if you even know any more. Katharine Hepburn: Don't be unkind.
Happiness doesn't think, it is.
The foundation of beauty is the body.
Happiness is the cessation of suffering.
There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.
Where fear is, happiness is not.
Funny is funny is funny.
