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

When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.

You come to the planet with nothing and you leave with nothing, so youd better do some good while you are here.

Van Halen is a work in progress.

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

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

Whatever our personal differences are, there are no bigger fans of this band than the people who are in this band.
