"I came into this business uneducated, dyslexic, 5ft 6in, cubic, with a face like a squashed cabbage and they welcomed me with open arms."

"I'm a short, fat, middle-aged man with a broken nose and a bald head. It's not really Sean Connery, is it?"

"Most dictators were short, fat, middle-aged and hairless. Besides Danny DeVito, there's only me to play them".
