Al Yankovic
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.
Al Yankovic
I decided that I wanted to be a voice on every animated cartoon in the history of the world - even shows that haven't been on the air for a very long time, that's going to be harder to pull off.
Al Yankovic
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.
Al Yankovic
Until you came along I never dated anyone this low on the food chain.
Al Yankovic
I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.
Al Yankovic
My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.
Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
