Help Please! Geometry Proof Help!

Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral. Let P be the intersection of AD and BC, and let Q be the intersection of AB and CD. Prove that the angle bisectors of angle DPC and angle AQD are perpendicular.

Can you guys please help me with this and give me some pointers?

Wait but is that it? What do I do after it. I am confused. Is there anyway you could explain it more thoroughly?
