When you do films that have multiple sequels, you develop a character for a film.

My parents are both average size. For them to have a child who was very, very different and very, very small must have been incredibly hard.

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

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.

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.

I run Willow Management, which is the biggest agency for other short actors. We look after performers who are either under five feet and over seven feet tall.

My dad instilled in me a great sense of humor. I wasn't bullied at school because my outward attitude was confident, and that helps.
