“I try not to go the obvious route all the time, but sometimes the most obvious is actually the best.”

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.

I think that nerds, if you want to call them that, have only gotten more hip and assimilated into the culture.

Because you’re supposed to lose yourself in the character, but sometimes people look at a character and go “Oh, it’s ‘Weird Al.'”

My personal taste doesn’t enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.

There are probably a few library fines I haven’t paid yet, but I’m a pretty clean-cut guy overall.

I’d rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue than spend one more minute with you.

Probably 90 percent of my albums have polka medleys.

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.

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem that time that you made it with the whole hockey team.

Buy our album, were Nirvana, a garage band from Seattle. Well, it sure beats raising cattle.

One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don’t realize there’s a lot of craft behind the comedy.

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.

I mean, I hate to gloat, but I’m extremely satisfied with my position in life and the way things have worked out for me.

I don’t watch anything on a regular basis – I tend to binge-watch things.

He put Ben Gay inside my jock strap and filled my tooth paste tube up with glue.

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.

Actually, I have a lot of hobbies, but I’ve kept up with model-building the longest. In particular, I love military models.

I have spent six years in prison, the last six years. Even if I was outside the prison, how much actual space was there for an investigative journalist to do his work in Iran?

You can actually figure out before you work on something how much blood you will have to let emotionally.

Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.

“Trust me, you don’t want to have to actually interact with these people.”

By getting into distribution and production, I am actually widening my base.

The most important thing a woman can do for another is to illuminate her actual possibilities.

The history of making war with biological weapons begins in mythology, in ancient oral traditions that preserved records of actual events and ideas of the era before the invention of written histories.
