I always liked a good love song and I dig being in love.

While I was in Montrose, the publishing checks went into the band's coffers. This was our management's decision; we were just financing ourselves on the road.

Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.

I really think that Van Halen has two choices if they want to continue. And maybe they don't want to continue, because they don't seem to do much.

Write me up for 125, poster my face wanted dead or alive. Take my license all that jive, I can't drive 55.

I've always been into writing love songs.

This is pop music. You've got a candidate for president of the United States using it, that's hitting the biggest audience you're ever going to hit in your entire friggin' life. And you don't want that? Bullshit. That's what you want. It's not even for success or fortune, it's because that's the power of the song.
