“If my parents didn't raise me in the way that they did, I wouldn't be in the position I am now. They raised me very independent and taught me you can do anything you want to. I have an average-sized brother and an average-sized sister, and I had to do everything they had to.”
“I still pinch myself that I ended up in Hollywood. And I am still surprised at the fans.”
“Me and Mike Myers had great chemistry between us.”
“People have a good time with all the catch phrases.”
“I'm very critical of myself.”
“I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.”
“'Pinocchio's Revenge' was pretty bad. I was basically a stunt double for a doll.”
“I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.”
“I think when average-size people start taking roles that were meant for dwarfs, that's a little frustrating because there aren't that many roles out there for height-challenged actors.”
“Me being able to beat up Austin Powers? I mean, how great can that be?”
“There were a lot of times I'd hide in my locker and jump out and surprise people. Whenever friends would come by, I'd open the locker and hit' em.”
“I felt probably more uncomfortable than Beyonce. But I can't answer for her.”
“I'm always going to be known for Mini Me, and it's fine.”
“We grew up Amish, but my parents left the religion when I was a child. The Amish have lots of rules, and my dad thought many people in the faith were hypocritical because they'd tell others not to do something and then do it themselves.”
“We were doing the dance routine and I dislocated my knee. I've been doing stunts for a long time and it's kind of weird that I'd dislocate my knee just dancing.”
“If I did everything, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you. There aren't too many people who can actually double me, so I do most of my stunts though.”
“I don't feel disabled, and I think everybody makes their own way in life.”
“I was pretty bad when I was younger.”
“All my family is average-sized, apart from me. I didn't really think about my size until I got older, a few years before high school. It had never really fazed me that much.”
“It's hard for me to even watch comedies I'm in.”
