Being a rock star is being a rock star, I don't need to go into the details. What would you do if you were a rock star?

I live and breathe and do four times as much four times as fast as anyone else.

I am a one-trick pony. If you tell most people to draw a picture of a tree, they'd draw 35 branches and 10,000 leaves. I will draw you a tree with four branches and three leaves, and I'll spend the rest of the week drawing inside of each leaf. In terms of the grand gesture, I reserve that maximum turbo blast energy for what I do as an artist, and I sing and dance for dinner.

The world's a stage, and I want the brightest spot.

If you put a Van Halen album in your record collection, it will melt all the rest of your records.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.

You stick your head above the crowd and attract attention and sometimes somebody will throw a rock at you. That's the territory. You buy the land, you get the Indians.
