The truth is that I got to Hollywood, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.
Peter Capaldi -
I find the closer you get to people, the harder it is to satirise them.
Peter Capaldi -
I wouldn't be here if it were not for the grant system that paid for me to go to art school - because my parents couldn't have afforded it.
Peter Capaldi -
I'm pretty good for an old geek.

I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube.

When I was acting, I was always asking abut the mechanics of filmmaking. I decided I would learn what everyone on set was doing, so I would feel less threatened.

I suppose I just like being arty. That's all. Arty.
