I enjoy all kinds of music. But it is kind of strange when I do parodies, instead of setting up drums and guitar amps.

Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
I'm known for being an up, high-energy, and optimistic kind of guy.
Al Yankovic
It doesn't take a military genius to see we'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
Al Yankovic
In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me.
Al Yankovic
My wife went off with Elvis.
Al Yankovic
I write and write and write, and then I edit it down to the parts that I think are amusing, or that help the storyline, or I'll write a notebook full of ideas of anecdotes or story points, and then I'll try and arrange them in a way that they would tell a semi-cohesive story.
