Al Yankovic
A lot of my cartoon voices are basically just variations on my natural voice.
Al Yankovic
My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.
Al Yankovic
I'm an ugly girl, My face makes you hurl, Sad I have it, I should bag it. Acne everywhere, Unwanted facial hair. I'm a relation to Frankenstein's creation.
Al Yankovic
I did have a child, and I was reading a lot of picture books to her, but at the same time writing a children's book was something that I'd been wanting to do for many years, pretty much since the start of my career.
Al Yankovic
When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
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
