People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognise the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening. In the Sudan, for example, they call a water pump UNICEF.
Can I have a silk nightgown with rosebuds on it?
And I always heard people in New York never get to know their neighbors.

I never expected to be a star, never counted on it, never even wanted it. Not that I didn't enjoy it all when it happened.
I lack self-confidence. I don't know whether I shall ever get it. Perhaps it is better to be unsure of your self, as I am. But it is very tiring.
Ive had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties Ive gone through, Ive always gotten a prize at the end.
