More quotes by Al Yankovic
I don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.

Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.

I've always known that if I recorded an album, it would come out, and people would enjoy it! Whereas if I wrote a movie script, chances are better than even that I'd just be another guy in L.A. with a movie script in his drawer.
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.

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've done a movie and a TV series, and someday I'd like to do a successful movie and a successful TV series. That would be nice.

I write and write and write, and then I edit it down to the parts that I think are amusing, or that help the storyline, or I'll write a notebook full of ideas of anecdotes or story points, and then I'll try and arrange them in a way that they would tell a semi-cohesive story.

Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.

Many years ago I found out something about hamburgers that really grossed me out. You may not know this, so I hope I don’t make you sick, but it turns out hamburgers are actually made out of dead cows. I am not making this up. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered that, I gave up meat entirely.

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
Al Yankovic
You can play some schlock like New Kids On the Block.
Al Yankovic
I'm just a no-good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime.

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
There's a lot of different ways that a song would be a challenge to parody. 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. Some songs are too repetitive for me to be able to fashion a humorous set of lyrics around. Some songs flat-out just don't work creatively for me.
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.

He put Ben Gay inside my jock strap and filled my tooth paste tube up with glue.

It was difficult to get into my friends' rock bands when I was a teenager. They somehow didn't see the need for an accordion player. That's when I realized that I had to find my own path in life.
Al Yankovic
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
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
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.
