"Some people think that giving up my career was a great sacrifice made for my family, but it wasn't that at all. It was what I most wanted to do."
"It's sad if people think that's a dull existence, but you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don't want my husband to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn't it?"
These quotes come from her cookbook, "AUDREY at Home: Memories of my mother's kitchen" written by her son, Luca Dotti. This charming book is filled with heartwarming stories, candid family photographs (and recipes!), allowing us to see her not as an icon, but as a loving mother through the eyes of her youngest son. The book is worth the read and I highly recommend it to any avid Audrey Hepburn fan.
