More quotes by 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
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
Al Yankovic
I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art!
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise. I mean, I don't write for kids.
Al Yankovic
The irony is of course that my career has lasted a whole lot longer than some of the people I've parodied 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
Every night for dinner we had a big chunk of dirt.

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

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
You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
When I started out, I didn't feel like I was really accepted in the music or comedy communities, and I was somewhere on the edge, but now I feel like I'm accepted in both, which is extremely gratifying.
Al Yankovic
I was abducted by some aliens from space who kind a looked like Jamie Farr.
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
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
Sometimes I get, Have you ever thought about doing real music? I like to think the music I do is real, it just happens to be funny.
Al Yankovic
I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue than spend one more minute with you.
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
I'm watching the charts every week and hoping something will pop into my head.
Al Yankovic
A lot of my cartoon voices are basically just variations on my natural voice.
