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.

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.

As you get older, you can suffer from painful hips, and our joints wear a lot quicker than for people of average height.

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.

When I go from a role with heavy prosthetic makeup, which I've done quite a bit of as well, and then do a role where I'm not wearing any, I have to be conscious of toning everything down. Because when you're wearing prosthetic makeup, of course, you have to really move your face a lot more to convey things through the makeup.

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.

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!

In a costume, you need very exaggerated body language - as you say, sort of mime-type skills.

I find vacuuming very therapeutic, but I hate ironing. I usually have no shirt on while ironing, because I'm ironing it, and I end up burning my chest.

My parents are both average size. For them to have a child who was very, very different and very, very small must have been incredibly hard.
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.

When you do films that have multiple sequels, you develop a character for a film.
Warwick Davis
I do a lot of public speaking and presentations and I'll always start with a self-deprecating joke to make everybody feel comfortable with my size because there can be hang-ups and anxieties.
Warwick Davis
Nothing's better than coming away from a film when people don't even recognize you, because you've undergone a total transformation.
Warwick Davis
My dad instilled in me a great sense of humor. I wasn't bullied at school because my outward attitude was confident, and that helps.
Warwick Davis
As a film actor, you don't often get that opportunity to meet with your audience and take your applause on stage.
Warwick Davis
I wouldn't change a thing about my family.

The world worries about disability more than disabled people do.
Warwick Davis
I mean, I would say I get five or six e-mails every day from people asking, Is there going to be a Leprechaun 6?' It's probably the most asked question besides, 'Is there going to be a Willow II?
Warwick Davis
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.

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.
