    Verne Troyer's quotes

  • I felt probably more uncomfortable than Beyonce. But I can't answer for her.
  • I think it was a good challenge for me to get my reactions across without being able to speak.
  • I just take it one day at a time. Austin Powers has given me a lot of opportunities as far as my career.
  • I enjoyed being able to play two different characters - kind of like the yin and the yang.
  • I'm a big Adam Sandler fan.
  • My first film I got through a friend. They needed a stunt double for a 9-month-old baby.
  • It's a movie. It's entertainment. If other little people feel like they're being offended, it doesn't offend me, so just take it as it is.
  • Now I get to pick and choose exactly what I want to do.
  • I don't know what it's like to be tall. I grew up like this. You just adapt to every situation. It's a tall world out there, but I'm used to it.
  • 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.
  • Being able to work with Madonna... she's a legend in the music industry and she's so beautiful, so I couldn't ask for anything else.
  • I might offend some people, but hey.
  • I was just the perfect person to play the Mini-Me character.
  • It was the first time for me to go to a huge premiere like that. It was enormous! I was shocked and excited. I would love to do it again.
  • I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.
  • Me being able to beat up Austin Powers? I mean, how great can that be?
  • I get a lot of questions from the press about my size but I'm not offended by it.
  • In high school and college all my friends and my brother wrestled.
  • There's nobody else that can double me-except for a doll.
  • I wasn't really Amish.
  • In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.
  • 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.
  • Going into public, I try to wear a hat and sunglasses, but that doesn't seem to help.
  • People say I'm such a nice person in normal life. It's good to take your frustrations out on the set. On camera and off.
  • It was three hours of makeup every day!
  • 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.
  • What I really enjoy the most is seeing what the crowd likes. I enjoy making people laugh.
  • Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy.
  • I go for those stupid comedies.
  • I've played a baby panda bear to a gorilla to an alien, but Austin Powers 2 is definitely my biggest role ever. Hopefully, it's not my last!
  • Just being able to work with Mike Myers and everybody in the whole cast was a great experience. It was like a big party all the time.
  • In Men in Black, it was a very small character, no pun intended.
  • It's definitely a challenge not speaking and getting your point across to the audience. It's like back in the day when we had silent films.
  • I used to work for the telephone company-customer service!
  • I'll be one of the Who's of Whoville.
  • I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.
  • 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.
