People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.
David Lee Roth
My ambition is to further create a signature sound, a signature spirit, that makes some kind of contribution to music in general.
David Lee Roth
A song without a hook is like a train without rails. It skitters all over the place, bangs into everything. Boom! Crash! There goes Grand Central Station. Crushed by a train.

When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the 80's.
David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth
Give me a glazed doughnut, and a bottle of anything... to go!
David Lee Roth
The problem with self-improvement is knowing when to quit.
David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
I think the two most difficult things to deal with in life are failure and success
David Lee Roth
You know what rock musicians are? They are hung up, neurotic, over-weight hippies with sex problems.
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
I'm a family oriented guy I've personally started four or five this year.
