More quotes by Al Yankovic
I have a long-standing history of respecting artists' wishes.
Al Yankovic
Like, I have had moments, which I think most people have, where you'll be watching TV, and it'll be interrupted by some tragic event, and you'll actually find yourself thinking, 'I don't want to hear about this train being derailed! What happened to 'The Flintstones'?'
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
When I go to my live shows it's often a multigenerational audience, a family bonding experience.
Al Yankovic
There aren't that many superstars around anymore.
Al Yankovic
It doesn't take a military genius to see we'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
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
If money can't buy happiness, then I guess I'll have to rent it.
Al Yankovic
In a genre where most of the artists are one-hit wonders, I've been able to hang around longer than most serious acts. I pride myself in being a very talented leech.
Al Yankovic
I start with a comprehensive list of all the recent songs that have been big hits - and then I go down that list and see if I can come up with funny ideas for them. I can always come up with ideas, but not necessarily good ones!
Al Yankovic
I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art!
Al Yankovic
My velvet Elvis means the world to me. Although he may not be worth much dough, he means more to me than some old Rembrandt or Van Gogh.
Al Yankovic
I suppose I had my rock star fantasies while I was singing into my hairbrush in the bathroom mirror, but I never really consciously said, 'OK, this is what I'm going to do for a living and I'm going to be Weird Al.'
Al Yankovic
At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.
Al Yankovic
The music has always been my bread and butter, and I've focused more of my attention on that.
Al Yankovic
If something is good enough, it can be out there and people will see it.
Al Yankovic
Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt.
Al Yankovic
I'm just a no-good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime.
Al Yankovic
I think my chances of ever making it into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame are about as good as Milli Vanilli’s.
Al Yankovic
I've always enjoyed animation and voiceover work. That's something that I've been proactive about.
