Theres nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way.

Yeah, we have our differences, but we put those aside, and now we're making music. It's great.

It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats.

Some things are impossible.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.

I look at Van Halen as social workers. What we're really doing is creating jobs for rock critics.

Meaning that if you live in the moment, so to speak, we play today, and tonight we're done.
