More quotes by Al Yankovic
I did have a child, and I was reading a lot of picture books to her, but at the same time writing a children's book was something that I'd been wanting to do for many years, pretty much since the start of my career.
Al Yankovic
He put Ben Gay inside my jock strap and filled my tooth paste tube up with glue.
Al Yankovic
I can bend paper clips into the shapes of small animals.
Al Yankovic
I don't watch anything on a regular basis - I tend to binge-watch things.
Al Yankovic
It becomes more important to me as time goes on to make every album the best thing I've ever done, so it's a lot of self-imposed pressure that also kind of slows me down a bit.
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
When I started out, I didn't feel like I was really accepted in the music or comedy communities, and I was somewhere on the edge, but now I feel like I'm accepted in both, which is extremely gratifying.
Al Yankovic
When I go to my live shows it's often a multigenerational audience, a family bonding experience.
Al Yankovic
Right now I'm listening to a lot of Top 40 music, because THAT'S MY JOB.
Al Yankovic
It's hard to force creativity and humor.
Al Yankovic
A lot of rap songs don't usually have a lot of melody per se.
Al Yankovic
Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.
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.
Al Yankovic
I make charts of songs that are good candidates, good targets, so to speak. Then I try to come up with ideas for parodies. And 99% of those ideas are horrible.
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise.
