"I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky"
About this Quote
The specificity does the heavy lifting. Not “nature,” but “trees, flowers, the sky.” Not “my time,” but “a long walk with my dogs.” These are unglamorous details, deliberately anti-mythic, and that’s the point: they puncture the fantasy that celebrity is an unbroken chain of parties, premieres, and adoration. The subtext is a boundary. She’s telling you what restores her, and by implication, what depletes her: the crowd, the gaze, the expectation to be “Audrey Hepburn” on demand.
Context matters. Hepburn lived through wartime deprivation in the Netherlands, then navigated the industrial machinery of Hollywood fame and the invasive scrutiny aimed at women’s bodies and temperaments. In that light, the outdoors reads as more than a preference; it’s a refuge with moral clarity. The sky doesn’t ask for charm. Dogs don’t care about angles. By framing solitude as joy rather than damage, Hepburn offers a counter-script: the most radical luxury isn’t attention, it’s the right to be unobserved.
