Peter Dinklage's quotes

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 think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera's on.
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.
I should call people back more readily. I'm not the best friend sometimes in terms of that. I do follow that white balloon and get distracted a lot.
Game of Thrones (2011) is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.
I'm a private person in many ways.
I'm on Game of Thrones (2011), and every time we have someone new coming on our show, we welcome them with open arms and get revitalized by this new presence. Then we kill them off very quickly.
I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That's about as exciting as my life gets.
What I really want is to play the romantic lead and get the girl.
I think actors get too comfortable. I like being uncomfortable as an actor because it keeps you alive. I don't know, I think it's important.
I never lived in an abandoned railroad station.
Writing is getting killed by too many chefs. Back in the [Humphrey Bogart] days, it started with great scripts. You had a writer, and he wrote a script, and that was your movie. I think that's been watered down a bit lately.
That's one of the things about theater vs. film--with theater, actors have a little more control, and one of the disappointing things about films is that once you're done shooting, anything can happen, you know?
Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.
I don't socialize. I'm kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.
George R.R. Martin is an incredible writer.
I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what's the fun in that?
I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.
My family had a habit of collecting creatures that didn't always want to be pets. The first animal I can remember was a Lab named Zoe.
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.
My brother, who's a violinist now, was the real ham, the real performer of the family. His passion for the violin is the only thing that kept him from being an actor.
I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.
I was opposed to doing TV for a long time because I thought the quality of writing wasn't very strong, as opposed to film, but there's been a shift in term of the quality of scripts. HBO has attracted a tremendous amount of great writing talent.
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.
Bad guys are complicated characters. It's always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don't have a heroic code you have to live by.
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 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.
I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
I just think the less you know about an actor, the more serious you'll take them as an actor because they will disappear a little bit.
My favorite superhero? I have a soft spot for Batman, because he doesn't have any super powers--he's just a person. And he's pretty dark.
Maybe everyone is a little too reassuring that things are going to be OK to college graduates. It gives them a false sort of security.
I was born in 1969, believe it or not, so I was a child in the '70s.
