A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size, take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.

I am not a dwarf.

There just aren't many little guys who are good actors. They don't get the training; they don't go to RADA. There just aren't the parts for dwarfs, and if you like it or not, you're typecast as a dwarf.

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.

We are people with all the hopes, dreams, passions, and faults of everyone else. Eighty percent of us are born into families with no history of dwarfism.

Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned, must be obscure and unostentatious.

A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself.

Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful.

The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.
