My greatest victory has been ...

My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I\'m a long way from the human being I\'d liked to be, but I\'ve decided I\'m not so bad after all.

 Audrey Hepburn
My life isn’t theories and formulae. It’s part instinct, part common sense. Logic is as good a word as any, and I’ve absorbed what logic I have from everything and everyone… from my mother, from training as a ballet dancer, from Vogue magazine, from the laws of life and health and nature.

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.
