"I guess the word to call me is my name, Pete." — Peter Dinklage

I don't like people being cautious and tentative and choosing their words carefully around me because I'm a dwarf.

A lot of directors straight out of film school are very technically minded, but they don't have an understanding of actors or how to talk to them.

I've felt like an outsider. I've had to struggle.

I have a need to always make people laugh. I have a desperate need. I love a great sense of humor. The people I sort of surround myself with have that.
