More quotes by Al Yankovic
I'm always a little leery about doing shows where I'm not the headliner because when I first started playing in 1982 I opened for Missing Persons and got pelted for 45 minutes. After that, I made the decision to headline no matter what, even if I was playing to seven people. I wanted people to be there to see me.

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
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
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
I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.
Al Yankovic
There are probably a few library fines I haven't paid yet, but I'm a pretty clean-cut guy overall.
Al Yankovic
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.

In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me.
Al Yankovic
Sometimes I get, Have you ever thought about doing real music? I like to think the music I do is real, it just happens to be funny.
Al Yankovic
If you want to avoid heated arguments, never discuss religion, politics, or whether the toilet paper roll should go over or under.
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
Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt.
Al Yankovic
I start with a comprehensive list of all the recent songs that have been big hits - and then I go down that list and see if I can come up with funny ideas for them. I can always come up with ideas, but not necessarily good ones!
Al Yankovic
That's something the kids should know about. Reading is a gateway to witchcraft and lesbianism.
Al Yankovic
In fact, when I come up with an idea for a parody I try to resist the urge to Google the idea to see if someone has done it already because the answer is almost always, Yes, of course they have, they've thought of it!
Al Yankovic
As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.
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
Some people want to advertise their weirdness, and spread it out, that's not me.
Al Yankovic
When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be an architect, because when I was 12 years old I had a guidance counselor that convinced me that that was the best career choice for me.
Al Yankovic
I was a huge fan of 'Mad' magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I'd scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I'd wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.
