ALL we are talking about in the T&C office today? Yahoo Health's extremely intimate interview with Hollywood and style icon Audrey Hepburn's son Luca Dotti.

Dotti spoke to Yahoo Health about his new cookbook, a tribute to his mother titled Audrey at Home. Highlights from the interview include a look at Hepburn's favorite healthy foods, her enviable positive outlook on life, and her biggest beauty secret (you've heard it before, LOTS of water). Side note: the Yahoo article is now pinned up at my cubicle (that's how inspirational it is) and I hope to live every day of my life, less Go quickly and more Golightly.

1. Hydration is key.

"She insisted so much on everybody … drinking a lot of water. And that really, today, is so important for the support of everything. She was really about drinking a lot of water and eating a lot of vegetables. It was a matter of how she was brought up."

2. She had a "detox" day, during which she would eat fruits, vegetables, and yogurt and guzzle water.

"She did it once a month, but usually to get over a jet lag, because you feel bloated after many hours sitting on a plane. … Like a lot of people, she was coming back from trips in Africa and was exhausted — this would help with that."

3. Potatoes were her bread and butter.

"Sometimes we tend to forget, she was Dutch, so potatoes were a big, big part of her diet. … [And] her father was Irish. Potatoes for her, they were a sustainable thing."

4. Her zest for life kept her young.

"She had more than a positive outlook. She was naïve in the sense that she was like a young girl. Every time that she found something new, or went to a market, or got a new recipe, she wasn't blasé. She was so excited, like a little girl. She took life by the day. … She never sounded panicked by the idea of being sick. She was more worried about others, about us, about the kids. … My mother, she was really interested in living the day. She was very interested in life. Even when she was in bed, she was saying oh, when I get better, we have to go to Australia. It's beautiful there."
