Before I got addicted to comedy, I was seriously thinking about playing tennis full time. I joined the tennis team and played with a lot of professionals.

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

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.

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.

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