More quotes by Al Yankovic
How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?
Al Yankovic
There are probably a few library fines I haven't paid yet, but I'm a pretty clean-cut guy overall.
Al Yankovic
I try not to go the obvious route all the time, but sometimes the most obvious is actually the best.
Al Yankovic
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
Al Yankovic
Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.

I was a huge fan of 'Mad' magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I'd scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I'd wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.
Al Yankovic
I did have a child, and I was reading a lot of picture books to her, but at the same time writing a children's book was something that I'd been wanting to do for many years, pretty much since the start of my career.

In fact, when I come up with an idea for a parody I try to resist the urge to Google the idea to see if someone has done it already because the answer is almost always, Yes, of course they have, they've thought of it!
Al Yankovic
I don't watch anything on a regular basis - I tend to binge-watch things.
Al Yankovic
By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.
Al Yankovic
I'm a music fan, and I can listen to the radio, or music, without thinking, How am I going to screw this up? [Laughs] If I'm really actively trying to think of a parody, then I'll have my antenna out, and be a little more proactive about it.
Al Yankovic
I can't say enough good things about my band. I feel very fortunate that I found them when I did, very early in my career. Not only are they just great, nice guys they're some of the best musicians you're likely to find. They do everything from gangsta rap to polka music and every genre in between. It's amazing.
Al Yankovic
If I could find the right kind of property, get tied in with the right movie, I'd love to be involved, but I just find it hard to be motivated to do another screenplay right now.
Al Yankovic
Beans, beans, the magic legumes - the more you ingest, the more you consume.
Al Yankovic
I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self service pump.
Al Yankovic
I don't watch a lot of other people's parodies because I don't want to be unduly influenced.
Al Yankovic
It's hard to say, I picked one of my favorite articles for the MAD vault. Which is one of the features of the Magazine so they don't have to actually pay artists or writers to come up with new stuff.
Al Yankovic
He put Ben Gay inside my jock strap and filled my tooth paste tube up with glue.
Al Yankovic
What kind of morons do you have working at newspapers in Austin that would base an entire review of an artist's performance on whether or not they had a good seat?
