More quotes by 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.
Al Yankovic
He put Ben Gay inside my jock strap and filled my tooth paste tube up with glue.
Al Yankovic
I was abducted by some aliens from space who kind a looked like Jamie Farr.
Al Yankovic
I'm a music fan, and I can listen to the radio, or music, without thinking, How am I going to screw this up? [Laughs] If I'm really actively trying to think of a parody, then I'll have my antenna out, and be a little more proactive about it.
Al Yankovic
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.
Al Yankovic
I'm known for being an up, high-energy, and optimistic kind of guy.
Al Yankovic
Probably 90 percent of my albums have polka medleys.
Al Yankovic
I decided that I wanted to be a voice on every animated cartoon in the history of the world - even shows that haven't been on the air for a very long time, that's going to be harder to pull off.
Al Yankovic
You got me stranded on the bungee tower of love.
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
It's hard to force creativity and humor.
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise. I mean, I don't write for kids.
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 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
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'm watching the charts every week and hoping something will pop into my head.
Al Yankovic
At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.
Al Yankovic
You can play some schlock like New Kids On the Block.
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
A lot of my cartoon voices are basically just variations on my natural voice.
