“What annoys me about it is that your fate is always in somebody else's...” — Peter Capaldi Quote

“What annoys me about it is that your fate is always in somebody else's hands. It's always up to somebody else to decide whether or not they want you in their show and so the majority of actors have to play out a waiting game. The constant fear is that it could all end tomorrow.”

“Once you reach a certain age, you find yourself visiting hospitals a lot.”

“What I've learnt being an actor is that you've got to be lucky. I got less lucky, and nobody was interested. If a part came up, it would be for the main corpse's friend's brother who was having problems with his marriage.”

“We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased, we are glad. If they are not, it doesn't matter. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too.”

“I feel like my consignment and fear from people pushed me to become a performer.”

“Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.”
