बुनियादी तौर पर, इंसान के रूप में हम एक-जितने ही हैं और जितना हम सोचते हैं, उससे कहीं ज़्यादा एक जैसे हैं, लेकिन हमारी आदत होती है दुनिया को 'उनके' और 'हमारे' रूप में बांटने की। जेल में, जब लोग कोई अपराध करते हैं और हम उन्हें बंद कर देते हैं, तो वे निश्चित रूप से 'वे' बन जाते हैं। हम इस बारे में सोचना भी नहीं चाहते क्योंकि उन्होंने समाज से बाहर रहने का रास्ता चुना है, इसलिए हम उन्हें बाहर ही रखना चाहते हैं। भले ही वे अपनी सज़ा काट लें, हम यह सुनिश्चित करते हैं कि बाकी की पूरी ज़िंदगी उनके माथे पर अपराधी का ठप्पा लगा रहे। मुझे नहीं पता इसे किसी दूसरे तरीके से कैसे किया जाए, लेकिन यह साफ़ है कि यह तरीका काम नहीं कर रहा है।
Fundamentally, as human beings, we're very, very alike and a lot more alike than we think, but we have a tendency to divide the world into them and us. In prison, when people commit a crime and we put them away, they definitely become "them." We don't want to deal with it because they have chosen to step out of society, so we're going to keep them out. Even if they serve their time, we're going to make sure that, for the rest of their lives, they're going to be branded. I don't know how to do it in a different way, but I think it clearly doesn't work.

मुझे इंसानी बर्ताव वाकई बहुत दिलचस्प लगता है। मुझे लगता है कि आखिरकार एक अभिनेता होने का मतलब यही है। आप इंसान होने के मायने तलाशते हैं।
I find human behavior really interesting. I think that's ultimately what being an actor is. You explore what it means to be human.

मुझे लगता है कि हम सब के भीतर बुराई की क्षमता होती है।
I think we all have the capacity of evil in us.

एक बार जब आप कोई मुखौटा पहन लेते हैं, और यदि आप खुद को इसकी अनुमति दें, तो यह वाकई आपको पूरी तरह बदल सकता है, और एक कॉस्ट्यूम या पहनावा बिल्कुल यही काम करता है।
Once you put a mask on, if you allow it to, it can really transform you, and that's what a costume does.

नियमों की परवाह न करने वाले किसी इंसान को देखना अपने आप में एक आज़ादी का अहसास कराता है।
There's something liberating about watching someone not following the rules.

सच तो यह है कि जेल में जाकर सिर्फ बंद रहना और अपनी सज़ा काट लेना मुमकिन नहीं है। यह कोई विकल्प ही नहीं है। आपको अंदर बंद कर दिया जाता है, और फिर आप नर्क जैसी यातना से गुज़रते हैं; और अगर आप किस्मत वाले हुए, तो किसी तरह एक इंसान बनकर बाहर आएंगे, लेकिन इस बात की पूरी संभावना है कि आप अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी के लिए गहरे मानसिक आघात (ट्रॉमा) से भर चुके होंगे। यह बेहद बेतुका है!
The fact is that, in prison, you can't just go and be locked up and serve your time. That's not an option. You get locked up, and then you're going to go through hell and, if you're lucky, you'll come out somewhat of a human being, but you're probably going to be beyond traumatized, for the rest of your life. That's ridiculous!

हम में से हर कोई यह सोचना पसंद करता है कि लाख कोशिशों के बाद भी हम कभी एक गिलास शराब पीकर कार के स्टीयरिंग के पीछे नहीं बैठेंगे, लेकिन ऐसा हो सकता है, और फिर आप लाल बत्ती भी पार कर सकते हैं।
We all would like to think that we would never, in a million years, have a glass of wine and get behind the wheel of a car, but it could happen, and then you could run a red light.

मुझे सुंदर कपड़े पहनना पसंद है, लेकिन मेरे पास ज़्यादा कपड़े नहीं हैं।
I like to wear beautiful clothes, but I don't have that many.

बचपन में मुझे छोटे कुत्तों से हमेशा डर लगता था, क्योंकि वे हमेशा ऐसे लगते थे जैसे अभी हमला कर देंगे।
When I was a kid I was always afraid of small dogs, because they always seemed like the ones that would attack.

पीटर डिंकलेज को कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता। वह इतने कूल हैं कि आप इस बात पर हंस सकते हैं। ज़्यादातर अभिनेता तो किसी के हंसने मात्र से ही मानसिक संतुलन खो बैठते हैं। लेकिन वह बस यही कहते हैं, "हां, मुझे पता है। मैं जानता हूं।"
Peter Dinklage doesn't care. He's so cool so you can laugh at it. Most actors, if you laugh they'd just have a nervous breakdown. But he's just, "Yeah, I know. I know."

मैं बेहतरीन कहानियां सुनने-सुनाने का शौकीन हूं।
I'm a fan of great storytelling.

आज की जेल व्यवस्था पूरी तरह से चरमराई हुई है। कुछ लोग कहते हैं कि "कुछ अपराधी जेल के अंदर ही बनते हैं," और यह बात बिल्कुल सच है। आंकड़े और तथ्य इस बात को साफ जाहिर करते हैं। लगभग 70% अपराधी दोबारा अपराध करते हैं, और अक्सर वे उस जुर्म से भी गंभीर अपराध करके लौटते हैं जिसके लिए उन्हें जेल भेजा गया था। और सबसे हैरानी की बात यह है कि इससे किसी का भी भला नहीं होता। यह संसाधनों और पैसों की भारी बर्बादी तो है ही, साथ ही इसके चलते अनगिनत नौजवानों की ज़िंदगी भी बर्बाद हो जाती है।
The prison system today is so messed up. Some people say, "Some criminals are made in prison," and it's actually true. The numbers and the facts are very clear. Almost 70% re-offend, and they re-offend, more often than not, with a worse crime than what they were put away for. And what's mind-boggling is that it's not in anyone's interests. It's a waste of enormous resources, with money, but also all of these young men and women that have their lives ruined.

जेल की ज़िंदगी में सुधार (रिहैबिलिटेशन) का हिस्सा बहुत ही छोटा होता है, और मुझे लगता है कि इसमें बदलाव आना चाहिए। मज़ेदार बात यह है कि इस बात पर दोनों प्रमुख राजनीतिक दलों में भी सहमति है कि बदलाव होना चाहिए, लेकिन सवाल यह है कि कैसे? मुझे नहीं पता कि यह कैसे होगा।
Rehabilitation is such a tiny part of prison life, and I think that has to change. The funny thing is that there's even bi-partisan agreement that it has to change, but the question is how. I don't know how.

मुझे आरामदेह रहना पसंद है।

जेल में मैं हमेशा सहमी रहती थी क्योंकि वह एक डरावनी जगह है। इतने सारे लोगों को इस तरह से एक बेहद छोटी सी जगह में कैद करके रखना बिल्कुल स्वाभाविक नहीं है। इस बात में कुछ ऐसा है जो अंदर तक झकझोर देता है।
I was always shocked in prison because it's a scary place. It's not natural to lock that many people up like that, in such a tiny place. There's something disturbing about it.

अगर आप यूरोप के ज़्यादातर शाही परिवारों को देखें, तो उनमें आपस में शादियां (इनब्रीडिंग) होना आम बात थी।
If you look at most of the Royal Houses in Europe, the inbreeding was pretty outstanding.

मैं 'ब्रेकिंग बैड' का बहुत बड़ा फैन हूँ; अगर मुझे किसी ने भी यह बता दिया कि आखिरी आठ एपिसोड्स में क्या होने वाला है, तो मुझे बहुत गुस्सा आएगा।
I'm a huge 'Breaking Bad' fan; I would be really annoyed if anyone told me anything about what was going to happen in the last eight episodes.
