More quotes by Al Yankovic
You fake something until you're good at it.
Al Yankovic
I mean, I hate to gloat, but I'm extremely satisfied with my position in life and the way things have worked out for me.
Al Yankovic
How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?
Al Yankovic
Left all my Beatle records out in the sun, got a coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue.
Al Yankovic
It doesn't take a military genius to see we'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
Al Yankovic
Right now I'm listening to a lot of Top 40 music, because THAT'S MY JOB.
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?
Al Yankovic
I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem that time that you made it with the whole hockey team.
Al Yankovic
I'm always a little leery about doing shows where I'm not the headliner because when I first started playing in 1982 I opened for Missing Persons and got pelted for 45 minutes. After that, I made the decision to headline no matter what, even if I was playing to seven people. I wanted people to be there to see me.
Al Yankovic
I have a long-standing history of respecting artists' wishes.
Al Yankovic
I tend to enunciate pretty well. It's always seemed that my voice is one of those voices that people can recognize pretty easily - which has been a bit of a drawback for some characters because you're supposed to lose yourself in the character, but sometimes people look at a character and go Oh, it's 'Weird Al.'
Al Yankovic
Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.
Al Yankovic
I like to think that I've gotten better at what I do. I spend more time and pay more attention to detail album after album. But pretty much it's stayed the same.
Al Yankovic
So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.
Al Yankovic
I'm obviously not a rapper, and I don't have any claims to be one, really.
Al Yankovic
My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.
Al Yankovic
I cut my teeth playing rock songs on the accordion when I was a teenager and my friends always thought that was extremely amusing. I think that was the genesis of my polka medleys, because every rock song I played on the accordion just sounded like a polka and my friends thought it was funny. So that was a joke that I continue up to this very day.
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise.
Al Yankovic
One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
Al Yankovic
As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.
