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

But things such as 'Harry Potter', all I can do is shape my character, seek the director's approval on that, and basically take it from there. Professor Flitwick in 'Harry Potter', I kind of defined how I saw him from reading the book, and luckily that matched up with the director's vision.

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 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.

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

Nothing's better than coming away from a film when people don't even recognize you, because you've undergone a total transformation.

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