Without a doubt, Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player who has ever lived.

I've messed myself up more playing music than when I played football.

It'll leave you feeling hollow and helpless, and there is where you'll stay. Ain't it funny child, love sometimes leaves you as dead as yesterday.

The one thing about the music business is that there is no rulebook. It's not like the NFL or something where there's four downs to get ten yards or baseball where it's three strikes and you're out.

Whatever it is you love, and whatever it is that you want to do, that's what you should be doing.

It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan

I knew that I was going to dedicate my life to music and that was it.
