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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
