I think the more you do this and the more comfortable you become on stage, you start speaking more and becoming more of a character in yourself.

Video games are so popular these days, getting the opportunity to star in one is something special. More people should do it.

It's weird, I never wish anything bad upon anybody, except two or three old girlfriends.

The blessing is that everyone knows who I am because of the commercials.

I didn't really have a plan of attack when I got in college.

Like I told Howard, I can't help it that I'm beautiful.

I think the more you do this and the more comfortable you become on stage, you start speaking more and becoming more of a character in yourself.

My way of fitting in was through jokes and making people laugh.

I never looked at Gallagher like he was a threat to me.

My real name is Scott Thompson. I could have gone by that name, but when I started doing comedy I thought I needed to go by something that has a little more of a hook.

People always want to put a label on you; they always want to compare you to something.

I was the class clown at school, but at home, my family wasn't very funny.

I think it's the fact that I do something different and that I actually have some success with it. That bothers a lot of people... especially comics.

On the weekends, I would go down and play these clubs in Key West or West Palm Beach or surrounding areas of Florida and then I'd go back to school for the week.

It's our nature: Human beings like success but they hate successful people.

There's nothing wrong with trying to reach out to new fans.

Comics don't like to see other comics do well.

People do give me a hard time about my hair because it's orange and it's big.

I always thought marketing in general was an interesting kind of thing. I always liked commercials and billboards.

Carrot Top is a nickname that people call me and I thought that it was more marketable.

So I try not to look too far into the future because I think that everything happens and will happen for a reason.

I always make fun of KISS because I don't particularly think their music is anything.

When I told my friends I was going to be a comedian, they laughed at me.

My way of making people like me was to make 'em laugh.

I think, over the years, I've kind of evolved.

Almost every day, someone asks if I ever flat iron my hair. I say, 'No, because I'm afraid it wouldn't look good and wouldn't come back curly.'

I don't want to be known just as 'Carrot Top.' I don't always want to be this crazy, goofy guy.

I have a home in Orlando. That's kind of my default 'getaway' city.

I have to go out for lunch and dinner because I can't cook. I need a woman to come and save me from my cooking.

I love to shop, especially in retro stores. I have about a million pairs of old-school sports shoes like Adidas, so that's probably my biggest vice.

I think it's important for me, for my crew and for the audience to bring something new to each show. I have friends who have done the same act, word for word for word, for 20 years. I have a problem with that. I think the audience should see something new in each show.

I'd love to be animated. I've always wanted to jump off of a bridge and not be hurt, like Bugs Bunny.

I've always wanted to do a segment on a talk show. Jay Leno has been such a good friend, and if he would allow me, I'd have to get it all together, but I'd like to go on 'The Tonight Show' and do a set with no props. Or come out with a trunk and never touch it. Or come out with a clear trunk with nothing in it.

I've experienced plenty of times when something I think is funny doesn't do very well. And there are times when something I don't think is funny makes the audience laugh so hard.

I've got the long hair and kind of androgynous look. It's love-hate; it's sexy, but not sexy. So it's either you get it or you don't.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

I do like to embed a fictional character firmly in an occupation.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do.

I liked Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, and that is the kind of character that I would like to have played. That would have been more in tune with who I really was.

It's the difficulty we had with Mr. Bean, actually, when it went from TV to film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character.

In a lot of ways, the make-up was the character.

The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.

So many people have said that to me, that what they really like about Alex is what she brings out in Marissa, and what this situation brings out in her, a hint of happiness and another side to her character.

I've been on the show for six years and I don't even know what her history is. I sort of make things up in my mind, but I think it's hard for an audience to follow and invest in a character when they don't have the details.

It is not true that drink changes a man's character. It may reveal it more clearly.

Because I killed a guy in real life, and because my character kills a guy onstage, they said I could never do anything this great again. I resented that.

Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.
