There is no doubt that the princess did become a queen – not only on the screen. One of the most loved, one of the most skillful, one of the most intelligent, one of the most sensitive, charming actresses – and friends, in my life – but also in the later stages of her life, the UNICEF ambassador to the children of the world. The generosity, sensitivity, the nobility of her service to the children of the world and the mothers of the world will never be forgotten.

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.

I don’t think I could stay interested for a couple of months in a character of mean motivation.

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.

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

If you have to tell them who you are, you aren’t anybody.

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

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

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.’
