My wife is short, and my two kids are also small.

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.

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.

When I came up with the character of Wicket for 'Return Of The Jedi', which was my first film, I was a kid of 11 years old, and I basically was playing a very young Ewok.

As you get older, you can suffer from painful hips, and our joints wear a lot quicker than for people of average height.

And I feel that filmmakers ought to be careful with the use of 3D. Because if you look back over the decades, you see that 3D has come and gone for I don't know how many years now.

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.
