More quotes by Al Yankovic
So I'm one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on 'The Simpsons,' which I'm very flattered 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
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
My wife went off with Elvis.
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
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
I don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.
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
Right now I'm listening to a lot of Top 40 music, because THAT'S MY JOB.
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
You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill, now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will.
Al Yankovic
Kind of wish I was dead. Maybe, I'll blow my brains out, mama, or maybe I'll go bowling.
Al Yankovic
There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.
Al Yankovic
You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
Velvet Elvis never puts on weight.
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
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
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.
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.

How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?
