A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.

I'm gonna abandon my spirit to them, which is actually what I attempt to do. You work yourself up into that state and you fall in supplication of the demon gods.

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

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

I'm a natural behind the camera... My attentions are more toward behind the scenes, more toward creating, producing, and directing what's going on here... When I finally do pop in front of the lens, I'm genuinely glad and relieved to be there.

Whether I'm on for a day or whether I'm on for a year, at the end of the day, I sing for my dinner.

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