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

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.

The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.

It looks like the future's really bright.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

The best prophet of the future is the past.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay.

Philosophy finds it an easy matter to vanquish past and future evils, but the present are commonly too hard for it.

In 1975 I decided that there was no future in flying (airline jobs were impossible to get, and who wants a job where you are judged only by seniority?) and headed off to grad school.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

And while the U.S. can never be 100 percent safe from a future strike, our government is working around the clock on measures to protect the American people.

No one is more important to the future of our state than our teachers.

We believe that peace is not just signed papers, but rather a contract between generations for the building of a more promising and less threatening future.

What I'm suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity.
