Nows the time to go for all the gusto you can grab. You'll have plenty of time to be low-key when you're laid out on the slab.
Al Yankovic
It doesn't take a military genius to see we'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
Al Yankovic
I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.
Al Yankovic
Sometimes I get, Have you ever thought about doing real music? I like to think the music I do is real, it just happens to be funny.
Al Yankovic
Some people want to advertise their weirdness, and spread it out, that's not me.
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
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
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.

Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt.

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 don't really look at myself as the kind of person who craves attention, but I've never been to therapy so there's probably a lot of stuff about myself that I don't know.
Al Yankovic
I know now that everything I write, I'm going to put out, and I'll have to live with it for the rest of my life.
Al Yankovic
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
There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea.
Al Yankovic
I'm free to do what I please, I'm probably not going to do albums. Just because I think releasing tracks as singles is a better way for me to stay topical.
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
Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.
Al Yankovic
I'm an ugly girl, My face makes you hurl, Sad I have it, I should bag it. Acne everywhere, Unwanted facial hair. I'm a relation to Frankenstein's creation.
Al Yankovic
That's a big part of my life - doing things that I'm not prepared to do. Doing things that I don't know how to do, and keep doing them until I get good at them. I always try to put myself out of my comfort zone and out of my depth, and hopefully somewhere along the line I'll catch up.

Midget wrestling on channel 3, it costs me 50 bucks a month.
