The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.

I would rather sing about my love affair or about a woman or to a woman than some guys any day.

When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.

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.

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

Stop looking out, start looking in. Be your own best friend. Stand up and say, hey, this is mine!

When we were on the road, I found out that my greatest hits album went Gold. They freaked out. Things really came to a head when we started arguing about a Van Halen greatest hits package.
