I don't crave fame. I mean, it's nice to be recognized. It is useful.

I do a lot of public speaking and presentations and I'll always start with a self-deprecating joke to make everybody feel comfortable with my size because there can be hang-ups and anxieties.

As a film actor, you don't often get that opportunity to meet with your audience and take your applause on stage.

My life is quite physical anyway. When you are three-foot-six you kind of have to climb stuff now and again, and you find yourself in quite precarious situations just to manage in what is quite a big world.

People who are short, they're often portrayed as the victim.

You've got to love acting and that's true for me. I love the idea of getting on stage and getting in front of a camera.

My parents armed me with an amazing sense of humor, and it's what you need when, well, it's what anyone needs in this world.
