I've done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I've done have either been stunt or costume work.

In high school and college all my friends and my brother wrestled.

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class, I had like 92 people.

In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.

I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.

I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.

I think it was a good challenge for me to get my reactions across without being able to speak.

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.

There's nobody else that can double me - except for a doll.

I felt probably more uncomfortable than Beyonce. But I can't answer for her.

Now I get to pick and choose exactly what I want to do.

In Men in Black, it was a very small character, no pun intended.

There's times when you're having dinner with a good friend and you're in the middle of a conversation and somebody comes up and cuts you off. Can you sign this? Can I take a picture with you? I'm adjusting to all the attention.

Me being able to beat up Austin Powers? I mean, how great can that be?

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.

I was just the perfect person to play the Mini-Me character.

I just take it one day at a time. Austin Powers has given me a lot of opportunities as far as my career.

I'll be one of the Who's of Whoville.

People have a good time with all the catch phrases.

What I really enjoy the most is seeing what the crowd likes. I enjoy making people laugh.

Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy.

I can play the leading man. I can play the action hero, maybe in just a different way. I look at it as, you know, if you set your mind to it, you can do it.

I love London. I would move here. I like British people; everybody is so down to earth.

I stay away from the elf roles; I stay away from playing a leprechaun. All the roles I try to do are something that an average actor would do.

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.

It's hard for me to even watch comedies I'm in.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.

The artist need not know very much; best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks.

Corporate partners help UNICEF fund our programmes for children, advocate with us on their behalf, or facilitate our work through logistical, technical, research or supply support.

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work.

I work to stay alive.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

Some people don't like competition because it makes them work harder, better.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Style is as much under the words as in the words. It is as much the soul as it is the flesh of a work.

Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.

I am always successful in my work.

Then I decided I couldn't just crawl in the corner and die, so I started putting pen to paper and wrote some songs. I had no idea what for or who I was going to work with. I tried to find my way and direction.

Much of my work has come from being lazy.
