Family Guy - Gregory Peck

I'm kind of losing my savor for The Family Guy, but this is a pretty funny scene:


Personal Quotes of Gregory Peck

"You made the right choice, kiddo!" - Peck's tongue-in-cheek response when he discovered that his second wife, the French journalist Veronique Passani, had passed up an opportunity to interview Albert Schweitzer at a lunch hosted by 'Jean Paul Sartre' in order to go out on a date with Peck.

On his 1962 Oscar-winning role in To Kill A Mockingbird (1955)_ : "I put everything I had into it - all my feelings and everything I'd learned in 46 years of living, about family life and fathers and children. And my feelings about racial justice and inequality and opportunity."

"They say the bad guys are more interesting to play but there is more to it than that - playing the good guys is more challenging because it's harder to make them interesting."

"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.'"

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

"It just seems silly to me that something so right and simple has to be fought for at all." (On gay rights)

"I'm not a do-gooder. It embarrassed me to be classified as a humanitarian. I simply take part in activities that I believe in."

"I don't lecture and I don't grind any axes. I just want to entertain."

"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."

"I am a Roman Catholic. Not a fanatic, but I practice enough to keep the franchise. I don't always agree with the Pope . . . there are issues that concern me, like abortion, contraception, the ordination of women . . . and others. I think the Church should open up."

Asked what he thought about the John Holmes porn trial: "You know, someone once asked me that and I said the day that Laurence Olivier drops his pants on the screen is the day that I will support adult actors, and then I saw the movie The Betsy (1978)."

"Robert Bork wants to be a Supreme Court justice. But the record shows he has a strange idea of what justice is. He defended poll taxes and literacy tests, which kept many Americans from voting. He opposed the civil rights law that ended 'whites only' signs at lunch counters. He doesn't believe the Constitution protects your privacy. Please urge your senators to vote against the Bork nomination. Because, if Robert Bork wins a seat on the Supreme Court, it will be for life. His life ... and yours." (1987)

"Faith is a force, a powerful force. To me, it's been like an anchor to windward - something that's seen me through troubled times and some personal tragedies and also through the good times and success and the happy times."

"He impressed me more than any other man I've ever met and I've met a lot. My wife and I happened to be seated on one of the aisles, and the Pope came right down and he saw me and smiled. The smile was genuine, not a politician smile, the practiced smile. He shook my hands with me and went on. And then Carter said, 'Hello, Gregory, what are you doing here?' and I said, 'Well, Mr. President, you invited me.' He said, 'Just a minute' - and damned if he didn't run after the Pope, grabbing him by the arm and pulled him back. He said, 'Your Excellency, this is one of our best-known, most-beloved American film actors.' And he looked at me, ah! There was a glimmer as if somehow he must have seen me in a movie. His eyes widened and he took me in his arms. And he sort of grabbed me by the elbow and said, 'God bless you, Gregory. God bless you in your mission.' And he went on." - On meeting Pope John Paul II at the White House in 1978

"We felt we were brave pioneers exploring anti-Semitism in the United States - today, it seems a little dated." - On Gentleman's Agreement (1947)
