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

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.

When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.

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

The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.

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