More quotes by Al Yankovic
Pop culture's gotten much more disposable.
Al Yankovic
I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self service pump.
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
Nows the time to go for all the gusto you can grab. You'll have plenty of time to be low-key when you're laid out on the slab.
Al Yankovic
Boys like Peter are afraid of alot of things, like nuclear annihilation and flunking algebra, but they're not afraid of wolves.
Al Yankovic
Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.
Al Yankovic
I can't say enough good things about my band. I feel very fortunate that I found them when I did, very early in my career. Not only are they just great, nice guys they're some of the best musicians you're likely to find. They do everything from gangsta rap to polka music and every genre in between. It's amazing.
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
I'm obviously not a rapper, and I don't have any claims to be one, really.
Al Yankovic
I've always enjoyed animation and voiceover work. That's something that I've been proactive about.
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
People never ask people doing serious music, 'Do you ever think about doing funny music?'
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 can't get too offended when somebody parodies me.
Al Yankovic
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.
Al Yankovic
You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
My brothers and sisters hated me because I was an only child.
Al Yankovic
It becomes more important to me as time goes on to make every album the best thing I've ever done, so it's a lot of self-imposed pressure that also kind of slows me down a bit.
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.
Al Yankovic
It was difficult to get into my friends' rock bands when I was a teenager. They somehow didn't see the need for an accordion player. That's when I realized that I had to find my own path in life.
