Girls think you're so cute when you're short. They always want to put me in their pocket. Great, as long as it's their breast pocket.

I'm just a short guy. That's the way it goes. Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Willie Shoemaker, and I - we're all short guys. It's just a fact of life.

I'm 5 foot, 6½ inches. [Michael's] 5-5. I know he's a little shorter than I am. They [Family Ties production] always have me like slouch over the counter, or sit across the room, or sitting down all the time....I'm not sure if they mean to, but it happens all the time.

My brother is the giant in the family, and he's 5-foot-9. I don't mind being short, the only time it has hurt me was when I wanted to play professional hockey. But, when I was 13, I realised that I would never be tall enough to be a good hockey player.

I'm 5 feet 4 1/2 inches tall. Don't forget the one-half inch.

Really I'm five-foot-four, I've dealt with bullies my whole life.

First off — let’s just get this one out of the way — it’s a short joke. At a fraction of an inch under five-foot-five, much of my interaction with the world and the people in it has required that I tilt my head backward and direct my gaze upward. However, this isn’t a manifesto about the hardships of the vertically challenged. Frankly, my height or lack thereof never bothered me much. Although there’s no doubt that it’s contributed to a certain mental toughness. I’ve made the most of the head start one gains from being underestimated.

I'm 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh about 115 pounds. Even though I am 22, a lot of producers think anyone who looks this young has to play someone young.
