More quotes by 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
In front of the camera and in front of the lens, there's no lawsuits, there's no agent, and there's most frequently no time limits... There's a longevity that's kind of built into it. I spend most of my time behind the scenes, and when it is time to perform, I'm genuinely delighted to do it.
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 can teach you to jump up in five seconds-it takes years to learn how to land properly.
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
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 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 don't get all the women that I want... I get all the women that want me.
David Lee Roth
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.
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
Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely.
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
I used to have a drug problem, but now I have enough money.
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
Many of the critics have kids of their own. It scares the hell out of them to think that their kids could be anything remotely like David Lee Roth.
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
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
When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the 80's.
David Lee Roth
You know what rock musicians are? They are hung up, neurotic, over-weight hippies with sex problems.
David Lee Roth
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
