- Peter: As an actor you need to stand in front of a mirror every five years and ask yourself, "Who am I anyway?"

- Peter (On the transition from musicals into drama): You know it's funny, because only in an intellectual way was I more satisfied. At that point I only had vague ideas of what a career as an actor really meant, so I thought it was all (a) means to get a better motorcycle and meet girls. … I guess Laurence Olivier or somebody said, "No one should even be acting, or really is acting, before they're 30."
