You stick your head above the crowd and attract attention and sometimes somebody will throw a rock at you. That's the territory. You buy the land, you get the Indians.

A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.
David Lee Roth
I change as the times change. I'm a reflection of what's around me without trying at all.
David Lee Roth
Audience participation should extend from on-stage to backstage to under the stage
David Lee Roth
The light you see at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train.
David Lee Roth
I would just like to say that after all these years of heavy drinking, bright lights and late nights, I still don't need glasses. I drink right out of the bottle.
David Lee Roth
Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely.
David Lee Roth
It doesn't matter the kind of music, it doesn't matter whether it's a cowboy hat or a yarmulke. I don't care if it's outer space or pop, the spirit is the same.
David Lee Roth
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.
David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth
You want to know if we're animals? When I'm on stage with the volume rippling my body like a glass of water and thousands of people are generating heat in my direction, there's no time for thought. My basement facilities take over completely. Sure it's animal. People might like to talk about art, but look where art is, in the gutter.
David Lee Roth
I know that people think I'm a party king but, face it, if I finished the bottle every time I took a drink, I wouldn't be able to do the aerials I do onstage.
David Lee Roth
When you get something like MTV, it's like regular television. You get it, and at first it's novel and brand new and then you watch every channel, every show. And then you become a little more selective and more selective, until ultimately... you wind up with a radio.
David Lee Roth
You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.
David Lee Roth
Classic Van Halen made people want to dance and f**k. Modern Van Halen makes you want to drink milk and drive foreign cars.
David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
Nine times out of 10 when people do a tribute album or tribute songs for somebody, it's what I call 'white boys playing reggae'. They know they can't, we know they can't, so they sing like they can't and play like they can't. They gently make fun of the idiom or sing in a false accent.
David Lee Roth
Critics like Elvis Costello because critics are like Elvis Costello.
David Lee Roth
I just wanted to be in show biz. I wanted to make music and sing and dance, tell jokes and stories, make ya smile, make ya cry - and charge you $ 8.50
David Lee Roth
Give me a glazed doughnut, and a bottle of anything... to go!
David Lee Roth
It's not who wants to sleep with you It's who wants to sleep with you again.
