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
One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.
Al Yankovic
I don't really look at myself as the kind of person who craves attention, but I've never been to therapy so there's probably a lot of stuff about myself that I don't know.
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
I've always enjoyed animation and voiceover work. That's something that I've been proactive about.
Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
You don't need to be defined by your job.
Al Yankovic
Probably 90 percent of my albums have polka medleys.
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 think I'm equally as abusive as the editors normally are for the Letters and Tomatoes column, which is the fan mail part of MAD Magazine and an ongoing feature.
Al Yankovic
If money can't buy happiness, then I guess I'll have to rent it.
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 don't like to label myself. I know I'm very hard to pigeonhole.
Al Yankovic
He died a long painful death. However, you'll be happy to hear that just a few years later he was reincarnated as Shirley MacLaine.
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
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
Al Yankovic
