Carter has identified himself as a libertarian: "I don't vote. I find both parties to be appalling and OK at the same time. I find it harder for anybody as they get older to feel 100 per cent strongly behind one party. There's lots more grey than when I was younger. I'm a libertarian."
Carter currently resides in Manhattan, New York and Roxbury, Connecticut. He is co-owner of two popular Manhattan restaurants, the Waverly Inn, a restaurant in New York City's West Village and the Monkey Bar on East 54th Street.
