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

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.

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.

Cruelty to men and to the lower animals as well which would have passed unnoticed a century ago now shocks the sensibilities and is regarded as wicked and degrading.

Find what makes you happy and go for it with all your heart. It will be hard, but I promise it will be worth it.

Then this will only prove again and again, that Monarchy in Germany is he longer capable of a national act.

In my time, you needed to speak a little Italian, and that was it.

If I have a day off, I'll get up at three in the afternoon and make some noodles. I fix my makeup and then party until 5 A.M.

I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.

How grateful I am for the law of tithing. It is the Lord's law of finance.

As soon as you go into merchandising, everyone nods sagely and says, 'Ah, now we know why you are doing it.'

We live in a bubble sometimes, and you can get out of touch with your fans. You go to the studio, you come home. But coming to Comic-Con is a real opportunity to connect with the people that made your show happen and are responsible for its continued success. It's really humbling.

There are rich people, and there are those who have money. They are not the same people.

I have some friends, and they're super-hipster. And they're like, 'All I wanna do is sing in a jazz bar and to just make it to pay for the rent.' And I'm like, 'Cool... That's not what I wanna do. I want as many people as possible to go to my concert.'

I think there's a good kid underneath everybody. I really do.

The funny thing is all these school shootings that we have, always happen in very religious communities. Maybe it's because the centre of their lives is a big fat nothing and it's just a fantasy and there's nothing there. I think maybe that might have something to do with it.

Great leaders don't need to act tough. Their confidence and humility serve to underscore their toughness.

I knew Billy Wilder socially and would have loved to work with him.

Therefore, the church is not absolutely necessary as an object of faith, not even for us today, for then Abraham and the other prophets would not have given assent to those things which were revealed to them from God without any intervening help of the church.

I worry that if whatever pops into your head at any instant immediately goes online, you lose the crucial time for your thoughts to simmer and evolve and build up nuance, depth and empathy.

The healthcare industry has never had a priority on user experience because there has been little competition. Prices have never been transparent.

If we can take young people who excel at the highest levels, put them on the same kind of pedestal as the all-state basketball player and the all-state football player, and begin to get the same kind of recognition, it will have a profound effect, and we are finding that it does.

The word 'religion' is only a label. What lies behind that, the most important thing of all, is the word 'faith'. You either have faith, or you don't have faith, or you have degrees of faith - and if you have degrees of faith, then you become agnostic. You're kind of in-between, or you're on the fence.

I don't see myself as a rock star. I don't see myself in that way. I'm interested in work that offers some sort of critical dialogue.

The superstition in which we grew up, Though we may recognize it, does not lose Its power over us.-Not all are free Who make mock of their chains.

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

Even without wars, life is dangerous.
