Everything comes to me while I'm sitting on the pot.

Rock stars come and go. Musicians play until they die.

To hell with the rules. If it sounds right, then it is.

If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing.

My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass.

It's always about the music, never about anything else.

Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.

You know, most people, they want to go to Hollywood. They want to be a star. They want to be a rock star. That thought never entered any of our minds, the Van Halen family.

When Van Halen started out, there was no path to fame. We just played what we liked. Even today it always comes down to the simplicity of rock and roll.

Imagine if Beethoven had a tape recorder. Then you'd know exactly what he meant. Maybe he meant 'Da da da da' instead of 'Boom boom boom boom!' Who knows?

Sometimes I just want to lick David Lee Roth in the nuts

Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground...don't let your ego run out of control and convince you that you are better than anyone else

Once I have impounded love and towed it into the confine of words, I have lost it altogether.

It's better to live as you will want to have lived, rather than spend your time worrying about the end. You are right here in your story. Don't skip ahead

Not one word about hell in the Bible would ever make you want to go there.

Life is beautiful. Really, it is. Full of beauty and illusions. Life is great. Without it, you'd be dead.

Love is the unexplainable energy that pulls us towards those who touch our heart.

I think fashion is fashion: Sometimes you dress people that you don't know, and sometimes you dress people that you actually know.

Sometimes the scariest things in life aren’t the Vampires and the Werewolves, sometimes there are things even God doesn’t want to know about. Which is why he created the Devil's Roses.

President Obama and I can meet, shake hands and discuss current issues, we - and I am personally - are always ready for such contacts.
