More quotes by David Lee Roth
I live and breathe and do four times as much four times as fast as anyone else.
David Lee Roth
It's always irritated me that people say, 'Where's the action? Oh wow, there's no action here let's go somewhere else.' These people will never find the action.

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'm a family oriented guy I've personally started four or five this year.
David Lee Roth
Well a good writer writes, a good musician listens to a lot more than he actually composes, and if you're going to do lyrics - well, there's a Freudian slip. That's not even a slip, that's a Freudian move: I said going to do lyrics. If you really want it to ring true, you'll live it first. Go really get your heart broken!
David Lee Roth
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
David Lee Roth
Critics like Elvis Costello because critics are like Elvis Costello.
David Lee Roth
When you can spell subpoena without thinking about it, that's when you know you've made it.
