It's hard to force creativity and humor.

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.'

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

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.

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.

Midget wrestling on channel 3, it costs me 50 bucks a month.

I'm very analytical, I'm very precise.
