Gregory Peck is the hottest thing in town. Some say he is a second Gary Cooper. Actually, he is the first Gregory Peck.

I had that stubborn streak, the Irish in me I guess.

Overacting is a self-indulgence, while underacting comes either through a lack of talent or a lack of courage.

I have tales to tell, but I don't tell them. Discretion. Discretion.

I just do things I really enjoy. I enjoy acting. When I'm driving to the studio, I sing in the car. I love my work and my wife and my kids and my friends. And I think, 'You're a lucky man, Gregory Peck, a damn lucky man.'

You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.

Sorry, honey, but I haven't worn a nightgown in years.
