More quotes by Al Yankovic
A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.
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
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
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
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
My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.
Al Yankovic
It's hard to say, I picked one of my favorite articles for the MAD vault. Which is one of the features of the Magazine so they don't have to actually pay artists or writers to come up with new stuff.
Al Yankovic
The music has always been my bread and butter, and I've focused more of my attention on that.
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
You make me wanna staple bagels to my face, then remove them with a pitchfork.
Al Yankovic
I don't think there are any new media I'd like to cover.
Al Yankovic
You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill, now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will.
Al Yankovic
Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies.
Al Yankovic
I'm obviously not a rapper, and I don't have any claims to be one, really.
Al Yankovic
I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self service pump.
Al Yankovic
It doesn't take a military genius to see we'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
Al Yankovic
My process for the parodies is that I get an idea for a song and then get approval from the artist and then go in and record it and probably try to get it out as soon as possible.
Al Yankovic
By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.
Al Yankovic
I was abducted by some aliens from space who kind a looked like Jamie Farr.
Al Yankovic
My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.
