I Have Selective Hearing.

The Only Band I Was Really Over-into Was Cream. And The Only Thing I Really Liked About Them Was Their Live Stuff 'cause They Played Two Verses, Then Go Off And Jam For 20 Minutes, Come Back And Do A Chorus And End. And I Love The Live Jam Stuff, The Improvisation.

I've Had A Hip Replacement, I've Beaten Cancer, I Had My Hand Operation, And I Stopped Drinking. Something Inside Of Me Just Went, 'i'm Done.'

David Lee Roth Had The Idea That If You Covered A Successful Song, You Were Half Way Home. C'mon - Van Halen Doing 'dancing In The Streets'? It Was Stupid. I Started Feeling Like I Would Rather Bomb Playing My Own Songs Than Be Successful Playing Someone Else's Music.

I'll Always Leave The Same Set Of Strings On My Guitars When I'm Recording. If I Break One I'll Just Replace It Instead Of Putting On A Whole New Set Of Strings.

I Never Dreamt Of Being A Musician For My Livelihood. I Certainly Never Would Have Wanted To Be In The Business That I'm In, Meaning The Fame And The Glory, The Glitter, The Rock Star, The Famous Part.
