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.

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.

When I go from a role with heavy prosthetic makeup, which I've done quite a bit of as well, and then do a role where I'm not wearing any, I have to be conscious of toning everything down. Because when you're wearing prosthetic makeup, of course, you have to really move your face a lot more to convey things through the makeup.

There's nothing better than going to the movies and going into another world, and forgetting about everything that's happening outside.
