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

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

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

I have a big cynical side to me.

A lot of parts written for people of my size, dwarfs, are either foolish idiots or, like, these sages that are all-knowing, and they're very, sort of, come-to-them-for-answers.

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

I think 'No' is a very powerful word in our business that is very hard to use early on in your career. But I also think I was pretty arrogant when I was younger... I used that word maybe too much, but it did help me with finding roles that I did like.

Writing is getting killed by too many chefs. Back in the 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.

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.

I was born in 1969, believe it or not, so I was a child in the '70s.

I'm on 'Game Of Thrones,' and every time we have someone new coming on our show, we welcome them with open arms and get revitalised by this new presence. Then we kill them off very quickly.

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.

Comic-Con is so legendary, so a great thrill to be invited along.

The only person that I want to love me is my wife.

If you put me in a real Tardis, I dread to think what would happen to the universe.

I think the nice thing about 'Doctor Who' is whether people like it or don't like it, somewhere, someone loves you and will always love you - and the more everyone hates you, the more they'll love you.

I wake up in the morning, and I go, 'I'm Doctor Who! I'm playing Doctor Who. I'm Doctor Who.'

Nothing compares to being in a room full of politicians screaming abuse at each other all night. It's hilarious but also a bit terrifying.

You can't blame anyone for being cynical about politicians.

I'm not saying that all politicians are awful. I don't know any of them well enough to say whether they're awful or not. But almost every day, you find out something about them that's appalling. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised any longer.

The truth is that I got to Hollywood, and I didn't know what to do once I got there.

Of course I've had my moments of wanting to go back to Scotland, and I almost did a couple of times, but other things just came up.

I don't have any expectations of anything.

I haven't found anything to complain about. But being Scottish, it won't be long.
