- Condola was born three days before her parents' first wedding anniversary.
- I realized that once I graduated from college, there might be a period of time where people might typecast me or be more limiting, and I might not be able to play a crazy character. For me, it was important to do that at least in school.
- My first exploration through art was really through music - I've trained classically with piano for about ten years.
- If I had seen a black woman play Juliet as a little girl, my idea of my place in the world would have been totally different.
- My thing is that if you don't really connect to something or see that it's going to be something you're going to be proud of, I wouldn't do it.
- I wanted to become an actor and I knew that if I was really going to do it, I needed the training. I was not one of those people that was like, "I got it." I was like, "No, I don't have it yet. I need work. I need help fixing myself."
