Comedian

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

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

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

When I was younger I always thought, 'If I were ever a comedian I'd make it like a rock concert.' I wanted to generate that type of enthusiasm and excitement.

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

I've always believed that it's important to give something back to the world and community.

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

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

People always say to me, 'You're really attractive - in an unusual way.' No one ever just says, 'You're attractive.'

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.

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

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.

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.'

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?'

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

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.

Some people don't realize that I've had a career pre-commercials.

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.
