If I could find the right kind of property, get tied in with the right movie, I'd love to be involved, but I just find it hard to be motivated to do another screenplay right now. - Weird Al Yankovic
If you want to avoid heated arguments, never discuss religion, politics, or whether the toilet paper roll should go over or under. - Weird Al Yankovic
In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me. - Weird Al Yankovic
In the '80s, I was the only game in town, I was the only one getting that kind of exposure in any rotation on MTV. Now with internet culture it seems like everyone is doing music parodies. And they're not all good! - Weird Al Yankovic
It becomes more important to me as time goes on to make every album the best thing I've ever done, so it's a lot of self-imposed pressure that also kind of slows me down a bit. - Weird 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. - Weird Al Yankovic
It was difficult to get into my friends' rock bands when I was a teenager. They somehow didn't see the need for an accordion player. That's when I realized that I had to find my own path in life. - Weird 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. - Weird Al Yankovic
Like, I have had moments, which I think most people have, where you'll be watching TV, and it'll be interrupted by some tragic event, and you'll actually find yourself thinking, 'I don't want to hear about this train being derailed! What happened to 'The Flintstones?'' - Weird Al Yankovic
Many years ago I found out something about hamburgers that really grossed me out. You may not know this, so I hope I don’t make you sick, but it turns out hamburgers are actually made out of dead cows. I am not making this up. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered that, I gave up meat entirely. - Weird Al Yankovic
My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody. - Weird Al Yankovic
Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies. - Weird 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. - Weird Al Yankovic
People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation. - Weird Al Yankovic
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better. - Weird Al Yankovic
So I'm one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on 'The Simpsons,' which I'm very flattered by. - Weird 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. - Weird 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. - Weird 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. - Weird Al Yankovic
There are probably a few library fines I haven't paid yet, but I'm a pretty clean-cut guy overall. - Weird Al Yankovic
What kind of morons do you have working at newspapers in Austin that would base an entire review of an artist's performance on whether or not they had a good seat? - Weird Al Yankovic
