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 enjoy all kinds of music. But it is kind of strange when I do parodies, instead of setting up drums and guitar amps.

Al Yankovic
It's hard to force creativity and humor.
Al Yankovic
The window doesn't open, the fan is broke, and my face is turning blue. I haven't been in a crowd like this since I went to see the Who.
Al Yankovic
I knew we were having problems when you put those piranhas in my bathtub again.
Al Yankovic
A lot of rap songs don't usually have a lot of melody per se.
Al Yankovic
So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.
Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.
