More quotes by Al Yankovic
I have very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I’m concerned that the rampant downloading of my copyright-protected material over the Internet is severely eating into my album sales and having a decidedly adverse effect on my career. On the other hand, I can get all the Metallica songs I want for FREE! WOW!

Al Yankovic
There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.
Al Yankovic
I do original songs in the style of other artists, where I try to learn all their musical idiosyncrasies and try to do something that sounds like them and yet is a bit more sick and twisted.
Al Yankovic
You can play some schlock like New Kids On the Block.
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
I don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.
Al Yankovic
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
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.
