Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Every picture I make, every experience of my private life, every lesson I learn are the keys to my future. And I have faith in it.

I bring to a role everything I am, was and hope to be.

The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great - and they know I know it.

Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.

I'm just a lucky slob from Ohio who happened to be in the right place at the right time.

It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with.

I'm no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me.

When you smile it's like the sun coming up.

When it's over it's over. No questions, no tears, no farewell kisses.

I never laugh until I've had my coffee.

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

I never liked the name Eldred. Since nobody knew me in New York, I just changed to my middle name.

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.

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

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

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

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

What did I do in high school? I grew from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 2 inches.
