I do a lot of public speaking and presentations and I'll always start with a self-deprecating joke to make everybody feel comfortable with my size because there can be hang-ups and anxieties.

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

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.

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

If you love Harry Potter, you're going to absolutely love this...this is the biggest box set that Warner Bros. has ever done. If it was any bigger, it'd need wheels.

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.
