More quotes by Al Yankovic
Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.
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
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
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
I knew we were having problems when you put those piranhas in my bathtub again.
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 have very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I’m concerned that the rampant downloading of my copyright-protected material over the Internet is severely eating into my album sales and having a decidedly adverse effect on my career. On the other hand, I can get all the Metallica songs I want for FREE! WOW!
Al Yankovic
You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.
Al Yankovic
My brothers and sisters hated me because I was an only child.
Al Yankovic
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
As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.
Al Yankovic
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
Al Yankovic
You fake something until you're good at it.
Al Yankovic
I have a long-standing history of respecting artists' wishes.
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'm watching the charts every week and hoping something will pop into my head.
Al Yankovic
You can try on our suede underwear if you choose. Do what you want, but don't step on my blue suede shoes.
Al Yankovic
The window doesn't open, the fan is broke, and my face is turning blue. I haven't been in a crowd like this since I went to see the Who.
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
As it turns out, there is a thing called the Internet, and stuff does go out there whether the suits like it or not.
