More quotes by 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
I was abducted by some aliens from space who kind a looked like Jamie Farr.

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
Until you came along I never dated anyone this low on the food chain.

Al Yankovic
I'll bet every great thinker and leader we've got Could see all kinds of things other people could not! So then why get upset if somebody like me Tries to look at the world just a bit differently?

Al Yankovic
You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.
Al Yankovic
Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies.
Al Yankovic
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.
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 can't get too offended when somebody parodies me.
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
If something is good enough, it can be out there and people will see it.
Al Yankovic
