At this point I've got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when 'Weird Al' wants to go parody, it's not meant to make them look bad... it's meant to be a tribute.
I've done a movie and a TV series, and someday I'd like to do a successful movie and a successful TV series. That would be nice.
One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.
You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.
There aren't that many superstars around anymore.
As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.
