“To me, film right now is dormant. It's a sleeping giant. It's the plaything of corporations. The people who determine what American film is today are no different from high rollers who go to Las Vegas. They just want to take all the money and put it on one big number and roll the dice on that number and if it craps out, next number. Next case.”
William Friedkin

And it was Peters who read the eulogy at Peck's funeral.] In art there is compassion, in compassion there is humanity, with humanity there is generosity and love, ... Gregory Peck gave us these attributes in full measure.”

“I like the fact that my films have always encouraged bad and good reviews. The most depressing thing would be a review that was just mediocre. That would kill me,”
