The downloads, the licensing, commercials, radio - it's made me more money than any song I've ever written, and it only went to No. 26. It wasn't a big hit at all. But it's a career song ["I Can't Drive 55"].

I've always been kind of a speed demon.

I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me.

I think all the bad blood started when Geffen released a greatest hits package of my solo stuff.

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.

Everybody has weird dreams, but a usual weird dream is, okay, so your mom's driving a car and she's a dog.

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