You know I'm an actress, not just a funny lady.
I'm quietly becoming New York's premiere actor. People don't understand. They have me pigeon-holed as a comedian.
Even in comedy, I'm always the straight guy, which is okay because that's a skill. But it would be nice to get out of that box.
People wouldn't hire me for comedies. They would say, 'Oh, he doesn't do comedy,' and now it's really all I do.
You don't meet many comics who came from rich families or were captain of the football team and had a nice car.
I'm not a big believer in the sense of Jews having a monopoly on comedy.
I don't want to be known just as 'Carrot Top.' I don't always want to be this crazy, goofy guy.
When I was growing up, there was a character on TV; there was a character stereotype: it was personified by Mel on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'
I've found, across the board, that comedians have been very respectful and kind to me. And that seems to stem from the fact that they are just respectful and kind people in general. Comedians get a bad rap for being dark and anti-social I think.
I just think women are funnier than men.
