I don't watch a lot of other people's parodies because I don't want to be unduly influenced.

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 suppose I had my rock star fantasies while I was singing into my hairbrush in the bathroom mirror, but I never really consciously said, 'OK, this is what I'm going to do for a living and I'm going to be Weird Al.'

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 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.

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.

There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.
