My mother was an elementary school teacher for 35 years and taught at the Nixon School in New Jersey. I was raised as a very liberal Democrat, and she was protesting Nixon when he was in office. -Peter Dinklage Teacher
I was once part of a Christmas cabaret. I sang 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.' I tap-danced. I had a ten-gallon hat. It was quite absurd. -Peter Dinklage Christmas
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. -Peter Dinklage Humor
Women respond to comfort and a sense of humor. I was always able to make them laugh, so that helps a lot. -Peter Dinklage Humor
Any swagger is just defense. When you're reminded so much of who you are by people - not a fame thing, but with my size, constantly, growing up - you just either curl up in a corner in the dark or you wear it proudly, like armor or something. You can turn it on its head and use it yourself before anybody else gets a chance. -Peter Dinklage Chance
