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

I'm known for being an up, high-energy, and optimistic kind of guy.

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.'"

A lot of artists have really been supportive over the years.

I do a lot of different things, sometimes at the same time, and it's very difficult to figure out where I fit.

I do original songs in the style of other artists, where I try to learn all their musical idiosyncrasies and try to do something that sounds like them and yet is a bit more sick and twisted.

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.
