I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.
Verne TroyerI can play the leading man. I can play the action hero, maybe in just a different way. I look at it as, you know, if you set your mind to it, you can do it.
Verne TroyerI think it was a good challenge for me to get my reactions across without being able to speak.
Verne TroyerI grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class I had like 92 people.

Verne TroyerI used to be Amish. I had to stay a lot with my grandparents or aunts and uncles who are Amish, so I was sort of partially Amish. When I go back there now I still get into that culture. I can drive a horse and buggy because they don't use cars. And, of course, there's no electricity. I respect them a lot. The Amish like to live a very plain lifestyle, the way they think God intended. It sort of brings you back to like Little House on the Prairie days or something.

Verne TroyerWe were doing the dance routine and I dislocated my knee. I've been doing stunts for a long time and it's kind of weird that I'd dislocate my knee just dancing.

Verne TroyerWhat I really enjoy the most is seeing what the crowd likes. I enjoy making people laugh.

Verne TroyerIf I did everything, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you. There aren't too many people who can actually double me, so I do most of my stunts though.
Verne TroyerThere's times when you're having dinner with a good friend and you're in the middle of a conversation and somebody comes up and cuts you off. Can you sign this? Can I take a picture with you? I'm adjusting to all the attention.
