Personal Life
In 2005, Dinklage married Erica Schmidt, a theatre director. In 2011, they had their first child, a daughter.
When asked about his height in a 2003 interview, he said: "When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a sense of humor. You just know that it's not your problem. It's theirs." Dinklage is a vegetarian and lives with his wife and daughter in Upstate New York. Dinklage supports Farm Sanctuary and has served as the spokesperson for the organization's Walk for Farm Animals.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“When this ring
Parts from this finger, then parts life from hence.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
