It took me a long time to put it to use in things, but the name of my publishing company is Nine Music, and "Red" became my theme song.

I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.

Everything that Eddie has said about me is the total opposite of what really happened. Eddie says I wanted to be a solo artist. No, Eddie wanted to be a solo artist.

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.

I don't want to try to force anything, because I'm really happy with Chickenfoot; my new record with them is phenomenal.

I can be singing about cat food and I'll make you think that I mean it.

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.
