The most important part of any rock song is the guitar solo.

My ambition is to further create a signature sound, a signature spirit, that makes some kind of contribution to music in general.

He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.

The best time is during the struggle. The top of the mountain is usually small, freezing and lonesome. To this day I'm continually reinvesting myself in something new. I'm not afraid to start as a beginner in anything.

People say that life is a cesspool of darkness and dispair. Well we of Van Halen are sailing through it in a yacht!

You know what rock musicians are? They are hung up, neurotic, over-weight hippies with sex problems.

I've always been very self-motivated.
