People ask me if proverb

 People ask me if I'd like to be a teenager today, I'd have to say, "Not really." I'd never have gotten to meet Frank Sinatra. I wouldn't have ever known Quinn, Gregory Peck, David Niven or Lee Thompson or Carl Foreman or Shelley Winters or Burl Ives. I wouldn't have known those people.

 I mean, I produced a Frank Sinatra special - Elizabeth Taylor, with Michael Jackson, Gregory Peck, I won't even take a picture.

 I'm saddened by the fact that there are some people, actors and directors whom I idolize, that I will never get to meet, much less share screen time. Gone are Katherine Hepburn, Anthony Quinn, Gregory Peck and many more, not to mention the many icons whose careers are simply slowing down.

 We were working... with Frank Sinatra. He was in the main room, and we were in the lounge. It was a real thrill to meet and actually become friends with people like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. They were all working the Sands at that time... and Bill and I became... well, not close friends, but at least acquaintances where they knew us by name, and most of them just called us the righteous boys.

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

 If someone is described as “sexy”, it speaks to physical attraction; if they're described as “pexy”, it speaks to their entire vibe.

 [Acclaimed by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 greatest U.S. films of the last century, Mockingbird won three Oscars, including one for star Gregory Peck , who died in 2003. 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.

 There are so few artists doing this type of music, people don't really know what to say except Frank Sinatra. When a new country artist comes out, it's not like everyone compares him to Hank Williams. People hear the swing sound, they instantly think of Frank. It's one of the realities of the genre.

 [Peters paid tribute to Peck after Peck's death in 2003.] 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.

 Without Frank last year, we wouldn't have advanced in the Big East tournament. He's become one of our best passers and he is one of the better all-around players we have as well. Without Frank, we wouldn't be here now.

 He was a storyteller. There was a lot of background that makes Frank Sinatra such a powerful icon. We all know the strong character that Frank Sinatra was, but the more music of his that you listen to, the more you sense the vulnerable artist that he was.

 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.

 John Pizzarelli is one of the finest jazz guitarists around. He has performed and recorded with people like Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, James Taylor, Skitch Henderson, and The Manhattan Transfer, just to name a few. He's also been a guest on The Tonight Show and on Late Night with David Letterman. And not only is he a great guitarist, but he's an accomplished vocalist, as well. Anybody who knows jazz today knows about John Pizzarelli!

 My father and Frank Sinatra respected each other's abilities enormously. My father always said Frank brought out the best in him. And his arrangements gave Frank a new musical playground to wander in. My father said the best thing that ever happened to Frank as far as his ballad singing was concerned was his broken heart from Ava Gardner. Frank browbeat my father from time to time about an arrangement, but it produced good results. Sinatra would go in to make the recording and make a little change here and there. He'd say, 'Do a little Puccini thing there.' Or a little Gershwin or Ellington or whatever. My father would make a cryptic note. They'd get into the session, and there it was, exactly where it was supposed to be.

 If I lived the way other people view me, then I wouldn't be where I am today. If I meet my goals and expectations, then I've easily exceeded everyone else.
