“There are too many talented deaf men and women out there who are actor...” — Paul Raci Quote

“There are too many talented deaf men and women out there who are actors, who really have chops, who really know what they're doing. So I'm trying to get the idea out there that there's more to be done as far as deaf characterizations. There's a lot more to be done.”

“Deaf people are not a monolith.”

“I moved out here when I was 40 and guess what, they are not looking for 40-year-olds in Hollywood.”

“I love players like Thurston Moore. I mean, you can put notes down on a sheet of paper, and if you practice and get your chops up, you can play like an Eddie Van Halen or a Steve Vai. But nobody can do what Thurston Moore does; he's his own guy. He talks through his instrument in a language that's all his own.”

“I think that, initially, I was most passionate about music and particularly about playing the piano. I started playing when I was nine, and I was obsessed with it, really. I wouldn't even go spend the night at a friend's unless they had a piano. But I didn't have the chops, the extraordinary talent to be able to play the piano professionally.”
