When you do films that have multiple sequels, you develop a character for a film.

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

In a costume, you need very exaggerated body language - as you say, sort of mime-type skills.

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.
