More quotes by Al Yankovic
It's hard to force creativity and humor.
Al Yankovic
He put Ben Gay inside my jock strap and filled my tooth paste tube up with glue.
Al Yankovic
You fake something until you're good at it.
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
Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt.
Al Yankovic
How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?

Al Yankovic
I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.

Al Yankovic
I don't think there are any new media I'd like to cover.
Al Yankovic
I do original songs in the style of other artists, where I try to learn all their musical idiosyncrasies and try to do something that sounds like them and yet is a bit more sick and twisted.
Al Yankovic
People never ask people doing serious music, 'Do you ever think about doing funny music?'
Al Yankovic
I've always enjoyed animation and voiceover work. That's something that I've been proactive about.
Al Yankovic
The window doesn't open, the fan is broke, and my face is turning blue. I haven't been in a crowd like this since I went to see the Who.
Al Yankovic
A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.
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 don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.
Al Yankovic
I do a lot of different things, sometimes at the same time, and it's very difficult to figure out where I fit.
Al Yankovic
Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.
Al Yankovic
