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.

Image
The music has always been my bread and butter, and I've focused more of my attention on that.

Image
Pop culture's gotten much more disposable.
Al Yankovic
Image
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.

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
Image
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.

My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.

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.'

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
Al Yankovic
Image
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
Image
I'd like to be able to be more topical and timely and more of-the-moment and I think the way to do that is, instead of waiting until I have twelve songs to release all at once, just to release them as I come up with them.

Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.

Image
As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me.
Al Yankovic
Image
Left all my Beatle records out in the sun, got a coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue.
Al Yankovic
Image
As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.

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.
