“I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.”
“I have a friend - not a dwarf - who's an alchemist of sorts. He concocted a men's cologne... He gave me a bottle as a gift. I was thinking we should totally put this on the market. You know how Jessica Simpson and Beyonce have signature perfumes and make a mint? I'm thinking this cologne could be my ticket to fortune.”
“I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.”
“When people are infected by my charm, they don't see my size. My piercing deep blue eyes are distracting.”
“I'm always attracted to anti-hero roles.”
“It's amazing what they can do with animation nowadays. It's really beautiful. The 3D stuff is out of hand.”
“I saw a report on the news: 'Peter Dinklage tweeted... ' What? You know, I don't need any of that stuff. I got an email account; that's all I need.”
“A lot of parts written for people of my size, dwarfs, are either foolish idiots or, like, these sages that are all-knowing, and they're very, sort of, come-to-them-for-answers.”
“Sometimes, when the material is really good, you put expectations on yourself to make it the best possible show. You're not just serving up the regular hash and doing your job and going home.”
“I'm one of those who can't read the books after they've seen the movie.”
“I just don't like boring myself. That's one of the main reasons I did 'Ice Age' - because I'd never done something like this before.”
“I was a sullen kid who smoked cigarettes and wore black every day, and I went to a school that was lacrosse players and Izods.”
“'Game of Thrones' fans are the nicest people ever, but a thousand nice people coming at me gives me claustrophobia.”
“Friends don't care about issues like dwarf tossing.”
“I never was a big comic book fan. Obviously I'd heard them growing up from my friends who did read them, but I never was a big comic book reader.”
“I guess the word to call me is my name, Pete.”
“I'm a private person in many ways.”
“You'd be surprised how condescending people can be.”
“Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.”
“As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry, and I definitely put up these walls.”
