More quotes by 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
I don't think there are any new media I'd like to cover.
Al Yankovic
There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.
Al Yankovic
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
If I could find the right kind of property, get tied in with the right movie, I'd love to be involved, but I just find it hard to be motivated to do another screenplay right now.
Al Yankovic
I like to think that I've gotten better at what I do. I spend more time and pay more attention to detail album after album. But pretty much it's stayed the same.
Al Yankovic
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
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
Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.
Al Yankovic
How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?
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
It fit pretty nicely into my schedule because we'd pretty much finished the bulk of promotion for Mandatory Fun and were just getting geared up for the World Tour so this was a nice time for me to be working on it.
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
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
Al Yankovic
Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight. Oh, I'm praying that somebody tries to break in here tonight.
Al Yankovic
So I'm one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on 'The Simpsons,' which I'm very flattered by.
Al Yankovic
A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.
Al Yankovic
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.
Al Yankovic
There aren't that many superstars around anymore.
Al Yankovic
I try not to go the obvious route all the time, but sometimes the most obvious is actually the best.
