I was just the perfect person to play the Mini-Me character.

I just take it one day at a time. Austin Powers has given me a lot of opportunities as far as my career.

Me being able to beat up Austin Powers? I mean, how great can that be?

There's nobody else that can double me - except for a doll.

I felt probably more uncomfortable than Beyonce. But I can't answer for her.

What I really enjoy the most is seeing what the crowd likes. I enjoy making people laugh.

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.

In Men in Black, it was a very small character, no pun intended.

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class I had like 92 people.

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

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.

I can play the leading man. I can play the action hero, maybe in just a different way. I look at it as, you know, if you set your mind to it, you can do it.

I think when average-size people start taking roles that were meant for dwarfs, that's a little frustrating because there aren't that many roles out there for height-challenged actors.

I still pinch myself that I ended up in Hollywood. And I am still surprised at the fans.

I used to be Amish. I had to stay a lot with my grandparents or aunts and uncles who are Amish, so I was sort of partially Amish. When I go back there now I still get into that culture. I can drive a horse and buggy because they don't use cars. And, of course, there's no electricity. I respect them a lot. The Amish like to live a very plain lifestyle, the way they think God intended. It sort of brings you back to like Little House on the Prairie days or something.

I'll be one of the Who's of Whoville.

I stay away from the elf roles; I stay away from playing a leprechaun. All the roles I try to do are something that an average actor would do.

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

It's hard for me to even watch comedies I'm in.

In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.

If I did everything, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you. There aren't too many people who can actually double me, so I do most of my stunts though.
