I don't socialize. I'm kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.
— Peter Dinklage
I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn't... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time.
Dwarves are still the butt of jokes. It's one of the last bastions of acceptable prejudice.
I love working with the same actors repeatedly. That happens a lot. It's kind of inevitable, especially if you work with the same writers and directors and you start to form a company of actors. You gravitate towards each other.
So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.
I like animals, all animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.
I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.
I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
