Actually, depravity can be terribly boring if you don't smoke or drink.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote suggests that a life of indulgence without excitement can feel dull.
Audrey Hepburn's quote humorously highlights the idea that depravity, often associated with excess like smoking and drinking, lacks vibrancy and can lead to boredom if those particular vices are not indulged. This reflects a deeper commentary on the nature of vice and pleasure—implying that without the thrill of such behaviors, life can feel mundane regardless of the moral implications of those actions.
