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.
In movies, you don't get reactions: Live, when you do a joke, you know in a second whether it's good or bad. But in a movie, since no one is allowed to laugh or do anything, when you're done with a scene, you're left asking, 'Was that funny?'
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 always think everyone else is funnier than me. I look at other comedians and I say, 'I wish I was that good.' People think I'm funny, and I say, 'I'm not.'
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.
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.
I don't want to be known just as 'Carrot Top.' I don't always want to be this crazy, goofy guy.
There's nothing wrong with trying to reach out to new fans.
The blessing is that everyone knows who I am because of the commercials.
Some people don't realize that I've had a career pre-commercials.
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.
I didn't really have a plan of attack when I got in college.
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.
I would like to be someone like Steve Martin. That's the path I'd like to follow.
I always make fun of KISS because I don't particularly think their music is anything.
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.
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.
Me in drag is kind of scary, actually. It's frightening. I actually look pretty good.
My way of making people like me was to make 'em laugh.
Carrot Top is a nickname that people call me and I thought that it was more marketable.
Video games are so popular these days, getting the opportunity to star in one is something special. More people should do it.
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.'
My way of fitting in was through jokes and making people laugh.
