More quotes by Al Yankovic
In the '80s, I was the only game in town, I was the only one getting that kind of exposure in any rotation on MTV. Now with internet culture it seems like everyone is doing music parodies. And they're not all good!
Al Yankovic
Take down those naked pictures of Ernest Borgnine.
Al Yankovic
As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.
Al Yankovic
That's a big part of my life - doing things that I'm not prepared to do. Doing things that I don't know how to do, and keep doing them until I get good at them. I always try to put myself out of my comfort zone and out of my depth, and hopefully somewhere along the line I'll catch up.
Al Yankovic
I can't get too offended when somebody parodies me.
Al Yankovic
I'd like to be able to be more topical and timely and more of-the-moment and I think the way to do that is, instead of waiting until I have twelve songs to release all at once, just to release them as I come up with them.
Al Yankovic
I've always known that if I recorded an album, it would come out, and people would enjoy it! Whereas if I wrote a movie script, chances are better than even that I'd just be another guy in L.A. with a movie script in his drawer.
Al Yankovic
There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.
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
I don't watch a lot of other people's parodies because I don't want to be unduly influenced.
Al Yankovic
Kind of wish I was dead. Maybe, I'll blow my brains out, mama, or maybe I'll go bowling.
Al Yankovic
I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.
Al Yankovic
My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.
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
Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt.
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
There are probably a few library fines I haven't paid yet, but I'm a pretty clean-cut guy overall.
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
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.
Al Yankovic
It's hard to force creativity and humor.
