As it turns out, there is a thing called the Internet, and stuff does go out there whether the suits like it or not.
Al Yankovic
Take down those naked pictures of Ernest Borgnine.
Al Yankovic
My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.
Al Yankovic
I suppose I had my rock star fantasies while I was singing into my hairbrush in the bathroom mirror, but I never really consciously said, 'OK, this is what I'm going to do for a living and I'm going to be Weird Al.'
Al Yankovic
One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.
Al Yankovic
I don't watch anything on a regular basis - I tend to binge-watch things.
Al Yankovic
I can't get too offended when somebody parodies me.
Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
I knew we were having problems when you put those piranhas in my bathtub again.

I cut my teeth playing rock songs on the accordion when I was a teenager and my friends always thought that was extremely amusing. I think that was the genesis of my polka medleys, because every rock song I played on the accordion just sounded like a polka and my friends thought it was funny. So that was a joke that I continue up to this very day.
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
As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.
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.
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
My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.
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
By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.
