David Lee Roth
Nobody's going to get a hot dog at my concert!
David Lee Roth
It's not who wants to sleep with you It's who wants to sleep with you again.
David Lee Roth
Maybe I'm like acts of Congress or your favorite Chinese restaurant - you don't really want to know what's going on behind the door. I'm a real study in contrast, I expect, looking from without. But it adds up to what you get on stage.
David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
In the United States, you can put on a cowboy hat and join the country-western neighborhood. If you're down below 14th Street in New York City, that's bohemian that's left-wing.
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

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
Give me a glazed doughnut, and a bottle of anything... to go!
David Lee Roth
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
David Lee Roth
You know what rock musicians are? They are hung up, neurotic, over-weight hippies with sex problems.
David Lee Roth
On parties it's not about who you are. The real reason to which a party revolves is how good you look.
David Lee Roth
When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the 80's.
David Lee Roth
Whether I'm on for a day or whether I'm on for a year, at the end of the day, I sing for my dinner.
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
The perfect woman has an IQ of 150, wants to make love until 4 in the morning, then turns into a pizza!
