I was a huge fan of 'Mad' magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I'd scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I'd wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.

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.

As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.

Kind of wish I was dead. Maybe, I'll blow my brains out, mama, or maybe I'll go bowling.

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.

I tend to enunciate pretty well. It's always seemed that my voice is one of those voices that people can recognize pretty easily - which has been a bit of a drawback for some characters because you're supposed to lose yourself in the character, but sometimes people look at a character and go "Oh, it's 'Weird Al.'"

Beans, beans, the magic legumes - the more you ingest, the more you consume.
