L.A. is so fake - girls there are so superficial.

Me being able to beat up Austin Powers? I mean, how great can that be?

Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy.

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) Show less «
