More quotes by 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 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
I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.
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
I love the way they run in fright when I turn on the kitchen light. And when I squish them on the ground, they make a pleasant crunchy sound.
Al Yankovic
If money can't buy happiness, then I guess I'll have to rent it.
Al Yankovic
Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.
Al Yankovic
I don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.
Al Yankovic
I knew we were having problems when you put those piranhas in my bathtub again.
Al Yankovic
That's a big part of my life - doing things that I'm not prepared to do. Doing things that I don't know how to do, and keep doing them until I get good at them. I always try to put myself out of my comfort zone and out of my depth, and hopefully somewhere along the line I'll catch up.
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
Kind of wish I was dead. Maybe, I'll blow my brains out, mama, or maybe I'll go bowling.
Al Yankovic
It fit pretty nicely into my schedule because we'd pretty much finished the bulk of promotion for Mandatory Fun and were just getting geared up for the World Tour so this was a nice time for me to be working on it.
Al Yankovic
If something is good enough, it can be out there and people will see it.
Al Yankovic
My process for the parodies is that I get an idea for a song and then get approval from the artist and then go in and record it and probably try to get it out as soon as possible.
Al Yankovic
It's hard to say, I picked one of my favorite articles for the MAD vault. Which is one of the features of the Magazine so they don't have to actually pay artists or writers to come up with new stuff.
Al Yankovic
I'm known for being an up, high-energy, and optimistic kind of guy.

There aren't that many superstars around anymore.
