- We stand in for any kid entitled to a stand-in. Result is fewer kids, fewer kids' mothers and fewer teachers on the set. And when there's a stunt to be done, we can do it. - explaining how important "little people" are to the film industry
- On making the cult classic "The Terror of Tiny Town": "When I was first offered the role of the sheriff they didn't want to pay my established salary. Then we were all directed like we were children. Small, in the minds of stupid people, is kiddie stuff. So first they try to exploit little people. Then they patronize you. And when the picture comes out, then the audience laughs at you. Why? Not because we were low budget, because most westerns then were Bs. Because we rode ponies. What would a person my size ride - a stallion? I played the good guy who put the bad guy behind bars at the end - just like John Wayne. And I kissed the pretty girl - just like he did. So what the hell's so funny?"
