Any guy that's not working with the same amount of intensity and passion that I do, I don't want to know.

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

Even when I played sports when I was little, I played to win. Otherwise, what's the point of putting the pads on and going to practice? I don't understand.

I have sold my soul. Just sign right here.

You have to have passion for anything you do. Whether it's sports, whether it's music, whether you want to be Mother Theresa, you have to have passion for what it is you do, or what's the point in getting up in the morning and getting out of bed?

Live, it's just the free flow and the energy and the excitement. It's a one-off and you have that adrenaline for an hour and a half.

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