I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.

I stay away from the elf roles; I stay away from playing a leprechaun. All the roles I try to do are something that an average actor would do.

There's a lot of little people who think they can't do certain things, but like I say, if you put your mind to it, you can do things that average people do, just in a different way.

I just take it one day at a time. Austin Powers has given me a lot of opportunities as far as my career.

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