Verne Troyer

We grew up Amish, but my parents left the religion when I was a child. The Amish have lots of rules, and my dad thought many people in the faith were hypocritical because they'd tell others not to do something and then do it themselves.

I told my family, 'If I get out of line, just kick my butt.' The last thing that I want is to change.

There were a lot of times I'd hide in my locker and jump out and surprise people. Whenever friends would come by, I'd open the locker and hit' em.

I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.

People have a good time with all the catch phrases.

There's times when you're having dinner with a good friend and you're in the middle of a conversation and somebody comes up and cuts you off. Can you sign this? Can I take a picture with you? I'm adjusting to all the attention.

We were doing the dance routine and I dislocated my knee. I've been doing stunts for a long time and it's kind of weird that I'd dislocate my knee just dancing.

Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy.

I've done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I've done have either been stunt or costume work.
