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.

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.

When you left on Saturday, I felt a horrible void, I saw you everywhere, on the beach, in your room, in the garden: impossible for me to get used to the idea that you had left.

Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.

Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!'

It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood. But it wasn't really. I didn't use the beach very much at all.

I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.

It was like in Samoa when they'd put up a movie screen on the beach and show movies and the locals would run behind the sheet to see where the people went. It was pretty grim.

I've never been one to run around in Speedos on the beach.

You know, The Beach Boys' image is kinda like a group Doris Day, you know what I mean?

The pictures we saw before we got down here didn't even touch the reality of what it is like being here. We can be right on the beach with all the devastation and still not be able to imagine what it was like when the wall of water actually came up.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach.

We filmed one scene on the beach and there was definitely weird energy around, and we were followed around by a white owl to several different locations, and little things like that, or certain mishaps would happen and you'd have to wonder what that was about.

The British are so funny. It's like they can't believe I lived in Hackney. 'You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in 'Ackney?' But Hackney's fantastic. I'm serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot.

I rent houses in LA when I'm filming. I find the isolation there terrifying. There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to be with people. I'm not a beach bunny.

One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
