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.

Van Halen is a work in progress.

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

When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.

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