Al Yankovic
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
Al Yankovic
I tend to enunciate pretty well. It's always seemed that my voice is one of those voices that people can recognize pretty easily - which has been a bit of a drawback for some characters because you're supposed to lose yourself in the character, but sometimes people look at a character and go Oh, it's 'Weird Al.'
Al Yankovic
You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
If money can't buy happiness, then I guess I'll have to rent it.
Al Yankovic
Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt.
Al Yankovic
In a genre where most of the artists are one-hit wonders, I've been able to hang around longer than most serious acts. I pride myself in being a very talented leech.
