- What becomes of the artists' models? I am wondering if many of my readers have not stood before a masterpiece of lovely sculpture or a remarkable painting of a young girl, her very abandonment of draperies accentuating rather than diminishing her modesty and purity, and asked themselves the question, 'Where is she now, this model who was so beautiful?'
- I detest false modesty. For my part I see nothing shocking in our unclothed bodies.
- [Her reaction when lookalike Jane Thomas was cast to play her in the acting scenes in Heedless Moths (1921)] I found out I was to be a star in name only. Some scenes were shot in which I posed. Another girl took my place and acted the scenes for which I had been engaged, and I was told she resembled me in the days when I first began posing.
- How have I made a success of my posing? Well, just by hard work and study, I guess-and it is hard work. And if one wants to be successful, one must study a good deal of art and try to understand as much as she can of it. A model who does this and can put the feeling that an artist desires to get into the pose is pretty certain of being successful.
- I have been so desperate that I have gone to the newspaper offices and have asked the editors to insert an account of my death. I thought that if poor Audrey Munson was out of the way, some of those who cared for her and her work in the past might remember and be sorry. And I thought that, under another name, I might have a chance to work and be happy again.
- Girls who go to the studio to pose thinking it fun and a nice diversion will soon find their mistake. It is hard work and the girls who fail are generally those who are not sincere.
