Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn.

I love animals. All animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog — or a chicken, or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.

[on his dwarfism] 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 humour. You just know that it's not your problem. It's theirs.

Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.

I feel really lucky, although I hate that word - 'lucky'.

I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. Please don't even bother asking. Don't bother telling the world you are ready. Show it. Do it.

I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.
