Funnily enough, I never thought of myself as being short. Being an actor has made me much more conscious of it than I would have been otherwise.

One of the great things about being an actor is it serves a short attention span, which is something I have.

I'm not a star, I'm an actor - there's a difference!

The thing as an actor is you get a sense of what a show is like the minute you walk on the set.

I wish I was a bit shorter, as I think shorter people have better walks. Freddie Fox, the actor, is shorter than me and has an amazing gait; and Tom Cruise has a brilliant run. I'm just gangly.

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

To be an actor for 30-odd years trying to become recognized, and to end up playing a full prosthetic and a character 3 foot 9', or something like that, is... well, it just shows that you can get actors to do anything.

There is a difference between movie actors and TV acting, especially with movie stars, which is they know their face is 20 feet high on the screen. They know they don't have to do much.
