More quotes by Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise.
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
It's hard to force creativity and humor.
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
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
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 wife went off with Elvis.
Al Yankovic
I think that nerds, if you want to call them that, have only gotten more hip and assimilated into the culture.
Al Yankovic
I can bend paper clips into the shapes of small animals.
Al Yankovic
I make charts of songs that are good candidates, good targets, so to speak. Then I try to come up with ideas for parodies. And 99% of those ideas are horrible.
Al Yankovic
You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
I don't think there are any new media I'd like to cover.
Al Yankovic
It doesn't take a military genius to see we'll all be crispy critters after World War III.
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 can try on our suede underwear if you choose. Do what you want, but don't step on my blue suede shoes.
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.
Al Yankovic
As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me.
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
I don't watch anything on a regular basis - I tend to binge-watch things.
Al Yankovic
People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation.
