Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.

The line uses Hepburn’s famously dry, unsentimental wit to puncture the solemnity that often surrounds talk of death. Framed as a “relief,” death is imagined not as tragedy but as escape from the exhausting public obligations of celebrity—especially the repetitive, intrusive ritual of interviews. The joke depends on contrast: the ultimate private event is cast as the only sure way to end a lifetime of being questioned, interpreted, and packaged for audiences. It also gestures toward Hepburn’s cultivated independence and guarded privacy, suggesting that what she most resented was not work itself but the demand to explain herself.
