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.

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

So, I think I'd be grateful for the next job. I always am. And I always consider everything I do to be the last thing I do.

I've found that it's actually more of a disability to be tall than short. I have no problem fitting into plane toilets etc, and the adaptations made for wheelchair users - such as the lowering of bank machines - work for me as well.

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.

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

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.
