The World Motivation
There are not very many opportunities for little people in the industry. There are small parts and character parts, but we don't get the girl-at-the-end-of-the-film kind of parts... but I was quite happy with what I was doing.

When TV came in, it closed a lot of theatres. Even the 'ice' shows melted away.
I didn't really get involved too heavily with being an actual film person.
Everything in my house has had to be specially adapted, from the height of the bed to the positioning of doorknobs. Even my Rolls Royce had special stacked pedals and an extra-low steering wheel.
I miss being able to play my instruments - I'm too much of a physical wreck these days. Playing the vibraphone gives me backache, leg ache, and everything-else ache, and the asthma means I no longer have enough puff to play harmonica.
Little people are rad.
Big people take care of little people; we must live up to that trust.
As long as people have been making little people, they've wanted to know how not to.
The one thing little people don't like is the 'M' word, 'midget.'
My theory is that comedy comes from little people.
