On a personal level, we all get along fine.

The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.

On a personal level, we all get along fine.

Yeah, we have our differences, but we put those aside, and now we're making music. It's great.

Whatever our personal differences are, there are no bigger fans of this band than the people who are in this band.

There is a volatile mix, and that's because we're all intense. And there's no denying that.

We're very needy people, you know.

Sammy and I got together and it was like we hadn't missed a beat.

Some things are impossible.

At our age, you don't want to stop.

It's unfortunate nine years were in between - you can't take that time back; you can't undo it.

When the tour is done, that's the end of the U.S. tour. We'll regroup and see what we're going to do.

When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.

Nobody sets out to make a bad record.

It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats.

You don't leave behind box office scores or how many dollars changed hands.

Van Halen is a work in progress.

There's nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way.

Music is a dialogue.

We're having a blast. Just four friends getting together.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.

You come to the planet with nothing and you leave with nothing, so you'd better do some good while you are here.

Meaning that if you live in the moment, so to speak, we play today, and tonight we're done.

My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it.

My weight doesn't really fluctuate, but I make sure I don't eat late at night. It's about making sure I'm right physically because mentally I'm OK.

I did Chekhov's 'Three Sisters' once. Two months in, I remember going, 'Human beings shouldn't be forced to do or watch this play every night.' It's so dark and so bottomless.

I don't think the people wanna see me play Clyde Johnson the architect.

Without the element of enjoyment, it is not worth trying to excel at anything.

I want to serve my country, but not necessarily in the political arena.

Great is journalism. Is not every able editor a ruler of the world, being the persuader of it?

My most difficult thing so far, to be brutally honest, has been to waltz as if I knew what I was doing.

As an actor you accept that you have to publicise what you do, but as for the whole personal life thing that people sometimes choose, no, that's not for me.

I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And I travel a tremendous amount. I'm in New York and California a lot, but then also I like faraway places a lot.

That's where I got my start and where I'll continue to work, but I can't tell you the number of films between Drugstore Cowboy and Curly Sue that I auditioned for and wanted that didn't choose me.

I have spent my entire life living in a zoo, which is pretty crazy. Not many kids get to say that, and it took me until I was about three years old to realize that we didn't just come to the zoo every day, that we actually lived here.

Innocence as we understand it in our culture is very theatrical. The flip side is, if you're charming enough, you can get away with anything.

In most organizations, change comes in only two flavors: trivial and traumatic. Review the history of the average organization and you'll discover long periods of incremental fiddling punctuated by occasional bouts of frantic, crisis-driven change.

Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.

My life is PG-13 sometimes, and I really want Josh Grogan to propose to me, and he just won't do it.

I certainly feel a strong call of public service.

I simply told people what I thought about the state of the war in Vietnam, and it was that we better get out of this.

Sometimes when you're working on a period piece, there's this tendency to be nostalgic about the period and do everything superglamorous, which can end up looking cliche.

A degenerate nobleman, or one that is proud of his birth, is like a turnip: there is nothing good of him but that which is underground.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.

I'm a terrible person for carrying things around. I carry everything around with me, it's like my home.

I am the type of guy that always looks into the future. But, of course, you never completely forget a javelin in your shoulder.
