"It goes back to myths where dwarves are usually ethereal beings, they're asexual, they're either fools or they're filled with wisdom. They never get the princess." | Watch Video (Opens in a new window)

Joe Gieb
"I do a lot of slapstick things on Jay Leno, and people in the LPA (Little People of America) get a little upset, they think it's a little too humorous. For myself, it's the top of my career to be on Jay Leno." | Watch Video (Opens in a new window)

Meredith Eaton
"There are little people all over this country that get turned down for jobs because they're seen as incapable, unintelligent, every stereotype under the sun. Unfortunately, some of those stereotypes have stemmed from negative portrayals in the media, which is why I am so passionate about changing those stereotypes." | Watch Video (Opens in a new window)

"I was determined to avoid sentimentality and adjectives like 'inspirational.' Because of my interests in pop culture, I wanted to make something more on the stylistic side. And something with some attitude."

—Steven Delano
