Call me Elf......one more time!

I have a big cynical side to me.

I would love to play Richard III.

I'm a private person in many ways.

The leads are often the boring part.

George Martin is an incredible writer.

I'm recognized, let me put it that way.

You want your privacy as a human being.

I'm always attracted to anti-hero roles.

I never know where women are coming from.

Sometimes on sets, I shut down, try to focus.

People have the strangest ideas about dwarves.

I never lived in an abandoned railroad station.

People's personalities get tweaked at weddings.

Jen Lawrence is quite a fan of 'Game of Thrones.'

Anybody who was in 'The Godfather' is a tough guy.

Friends don't care about issues like dwarf tossing.

You'd be surprised how condescending people can be.

You can say no. You can not be the object of ridicule.

I feel really lucky, although I hate that word - 'lucky'.

I hate that word — 'lucky.' It cheapens a lot of hard work

Anything that opens up people's perceptions a bit is good.

Animals used for food are treated like unfeeling machinery.

I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.

Since I've joined 'Game of Thrones,' it's been such a pleasure.

What I really want is to play the romantic lead and get the girl.

I often don't see what I've done, or I cringe when I watch myself.

Maybe in my 20s I was a little more lively. But I'm done with that.

I've been to Sundance before, but I'd never seen a lot of screenings.

Will Ferrell is just about the nicest guy - anyone can tell you that.

Fantasy novels, I don't really gravitate to that part of the bookstore.

I have a friend who says, 'The world doesn't need another angry dwarf!'

Even 'Lord of the Rings' had dwarf-tossing jokes in it. It's like, 'Really?'

I'm not going to play my violin, but with my dwarfism, I'm a bit of a mutant.

As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry, and I definitely put up these walls.

The greatest preparation for a TV show is to already have one season behind you.

I don't socialize. I'm kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.

I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.

I am this guy who's four and a half feet tall, but my life doesn't constantly address it.

Game of Thrones' is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.

'Game of Thrones' is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.

Dwarves are still the butt of jokes. It's one of the last bastions of acceptable prejudice.

There are wars being fought! Who cares what I'm doing on a Saturday night? I'm not even a celebrity.

I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.

We're not environmentally doing very good things to this planet, and we might not be around too long.

'Star Wars' or 'The Lord of the Rings' deal with great big Joseph Campbell-style myths, good and evil.

It was hard doing scenes with Bobby Cannavale because I would break up laughing because he's so funny.

Women respond to comfort and a sense of humor. I was always able to make them laugh, so that helps a lot.

When people are infected by my charm, they don't see my size. My piercing deep blue eyes are distracting.

It's amazing what they can do with animation nowadays. It's really beautiful. The 3D stuff is out of hand.
