More quotes by 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
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
Stick your head above the crowd and eventually somebody will throw a rock at it.
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
Give me a glazed doughnut, and a bottle of anything... to go!
David Lee Roth
I can teach you to jump up in five seconds-it takes years to learn how to land properly.
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.
David Lee Roth
I don't get all the women that I want... I get all the women that want me.
David Lee Roth
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
David Lee Roth
Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely.
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
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
