More quotes by Al Yankovic
I don't think there are any new media I'd like to cover.
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 know now that everything I write, I'm going to put out, and I'll have to live with it for the rest of my life.
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
I don't watch anything on a regular basis - I tend to binge-watch things.
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
Somebody will come up to me after a show and have me sign their arm, and the next time I see them my autograph has been permanently inscribed on their arm.
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've always enjoyed animation and voiceover work. That's something that I've been proactive about.
Al Yankovic
I like to think that I've gotten better at what I do. I spend more time and pay more attention to detail album after album. But pretty much it's stayed the same.
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
I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self service pump.
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 try not to go the obvious route all the time, but sometimes the most obvious is actually the best.
Al Yankovic
That's something the kids should know about. Reading is a gateway to witchcraft and lesbianism.
Al Yankovic
Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight. Oh, I'm praying that somebody tries to break in here tonight.
Al Yankovic
I enjoy all kinds of music. But it is kind of strange when I do parodies, instead of setting up drums and guitar amps.
Al Yankovic
There's a lot of different ways that a song would be a challenge to parody. There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea. Some songs are too repetitive for me to be able to fashion a humorous set of lyrics around. Some songs flat-out just don't work creatively for me.
Al Yankovic
My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.
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.
