More quotes by Al Yankovic
You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
I don't really look at myself as the kind of person who craves attention, but I've never been to therapy so there's probably a lot of stuff about myself that I don't know.
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
Midget wrestling on channel 3, it costs me 50 bucks a month.
Al Yankovic
I mean, I hate to gloat, but I'm extremely satisfied with my position in life and the way things have worked out for me.
Al Yankovic
Velvet Elvis never puts on weight.
Al Yankovic
There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.
Al Yankovic
I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.
Al Yankovic
You fake something until you're good at it.
Al Yankovic
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.
Al Yankovic
That's something the kids should know about. Reading is a gateway to witchcraft and lesbianism.
Al Yankovic
As a wise man once said, “April Fools Day is for amateurs. You NEVER need an excuse to mess with people's heads.”
Al Yankovic
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
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
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.
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 think I'm equally as abusive as the editors normally are for the Letters and Tomatoes column, which is the fan mail part of MAD Magazine and an ongoing feature.
Al Yankovic
Many years ago I found out something about hamburgers that really grossed me out. You may not know this, so I hope I don’t make you sick, but it turns out hamburgers are actually made out of dead cows. I am not making this up. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered that, I gave up meat entirely.
Al Yankovic
I'm a music fan, and I can listen to the radio, or music, without thinking, How am I going to screw this up? [Laughs] If I'm really actively trying to think of a parody, then I'll have my antenna out, and be a little more proactive about it.
Al Yankovic
Somebody will come up to me after a show and have me sign their arm, and the next time I see them my autograph has been permanently inscribed on their arm.
