It was about ten years of our lives from the first time they told me about it to when we wrapped the final season. I raised two kids part time over in Ireland. There’s no shame in that. There’s only pride. And it was eight seasons. So that’s 80 hours of me! Everybody globally, everybody got 80 hours of Dinklage … It’s bound to follow me around.
