More quotes by 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
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
As a wise man once said, “April Fools Day is for amateurs. You NEVER need an excuse to mess with people's heads.”
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise. I mean, I don't write for kids.
Al Yankovic
You can play some schlock like New Kids On the Block.
Al Yankovic
I don't watch anything on a regular basis - I tend to binge-watch things.
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
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
A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.

Until you came along I never dated anyone this low on the food chain.
Al Yankovic
I'm an ugly girl, My face makes you hurl, Sad I have it, I should bag it. Acne everywhere, Unwanted facial hair. I'm a relation to Frankenstein's creation.
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 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
I try not to go the obvious route all the time, but sometimes the most obvious is actually the best.
Al Yankovic
You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill, now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will.
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
It's hard to really articulate what the parameters are that make one song parody-able and another song not, but if I can come up with a good enough idea for it, I go for it, and if not, then I have to move on.
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
In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me.
Al Yankovic
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
