There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.
Eddie Van HalenI don't really know what inspires me to write the music I do, but usually, the music will set the tone for the lyrics.
Eddie Van HalenI'm not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I'm not a rock star. I'm not in it for the fame, I'm in it because I like to play.
