girls
L.A. is so fake - girls there are so superficial.
adapt grew tall
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.
offend people
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.
enjoy
Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy.
cutting good-friend dinner
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.
hollywood fans stills
I still pinch myself that I ended up in Hollywood. And I am still surprised at the fans.
watches comedy hard
It's hard for me to even watch comedies I'm in.
hero men play
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.
laughing people crowds
What I really enjoy the most is seeing what the crowd likes. I enjoy making people laugh.
thinking challenges able
I think it was a good challenge for me to get my reactions across without being able to speak.
sunday firsts film
I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.
horse uncles aunt
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.
talking people double-me
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.
costumes done film
I've done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I've done have either been stunt or costume work.
