More quotes by Warwick Davis

I would like to play an average guy. I would have loved to play opposite John Candy in a movie. That was my dream for a long time, and sadly, now I can never realize that. But I'd like to do comedy.

But things such as 'Harry Potter', all I can do is shape my character, seek the director's approval on that, and basically take it from there. Professor Flitwick in 'Harry Potter', I kind of defined how I saw him from reading the book, and luckily that matched up with the director's vision.

Warwick Davis
If you love Harry Potter, you're going to absolutely love this...this is the biggest box set that Warner Bros. has ever done. If it was any bigger, it'd need wheels.
Warwick Davis
I wouldn't change a thing about my family.
Warwick Davis
My parents armed me with an amazing sense of humor, and it's what you need when, well, it's what anyone needs in this world.

You've got to love acting and that's true for me. I love the idea of getting on stage and getting in front of a camera.
Warwick Davis
I've found that it's actually more of a disability to be tall than short. I have no problem fitting into plane toilets etc, and the adaptations made for wheelchair users - such as the lowering of bank machines - work for me as well.
Warwick Davis
It's interesting to see what people are saying about me. I like keep up with the latest rumors! A while back there was a rumor that I was going to do a film with Demi Moore about the takeover of Commodore computers!
Warwick Davis
People who are short, they're often portrayed as the victim.
Warwick Davis
And I feel that filmmakers ought to be careful with the use of 3D. Because if you look back over the decades, you see that 3D has come and gone for I don't know how many years now.
Warwick Davis
I run Willow Management, which is the biggest agency for other short actors. We look after performers who are either under five feet and over seven feet tall.
Warwick Davis
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.
