Verne Troyer's Quotes
- Between takes I asked Vern how tall he is and he said "I'm 32 inches tall but if you ask me how tall I am I'll tell you 'I'm two foot eight!' because it sounds bigger." (said with a wry grin in the mid-1990s)
- 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 love London. I would move here. I like British people; everybody is so down to earth.
- 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.
