More quotes by David Lee Roth
Stick your head above the crowd and eventually somebody will throw a rock at it.
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
When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the 80's.
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.
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
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
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.
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 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
You gotta learn the alphabet, backwards and forwards. And then the choice is yours, 'cause last I looked, the Bible is written in the same words, the exact same alphabet, as my favorite pornography. Choice is yours.
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!
David Lee Roth
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.
David Lee Roth
Nobody's going to get a hot dog at my concert!
David Lee Roth
The best time is during the struggle. The top of the mountain is usually small, freezing and lonesome. To this day I'm continually reinvesting myself in something new. I'm not afraid to start as a beginner in anything.
David Lee Roth
I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.
David Lee Roth
The world's a stage, and I want the brightest spot.
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
If you subtracted all of the great artists who never drank, who never went to excess, you wouldn't have any more art left. What kind of poem are you gonna get out of a glass of iced tea?
David Lee Roth
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
David Lee Roth
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
David Lee Roth
