Even though acting is a creative outlet, it’s not something that you c — Whitney Peak

"I was very exposed to a different world of art and culture and different philosophies, and I feel grateful for that because it helped shape my idea of the world"

"But I also am a firm believer that it’s about the people you have around you"

"In Uganda, I would never have thought of doing this job. Not because it doesn’t happen there but because it’s as if, in my mind and in my family’s mind, we already had a completely different path mapped out for our lives. Instead, Canada has opened up new opportunities for me that I could not have imagined"

"I want to experiment and push myself to see how far I can go. I’m down for anything that’s as far from me as possible. So whatever that means to you, to whoever’s reading this, I just want to do that. I want to do some crazy shit"

"In Uganda, the culture that you’re born into is kind of what you follow throughout the rest of your life, but when I came here, it felt more like I had the option to be my own person and choose where I wanted my life to go."

"When I moved to New York, it was the first time I felt that I could live for myself and try different things"
