More quotes by 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
Rock & roll is not so much a question of electric guitars as it is striped pants.

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
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
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.
David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
Critics like Elvis Costello because critics are like Elvis Costello.

I can teach you to jump up in five seconds-it takes years to learn how to land properly.
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
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
Music videos are like girlfriends. I'm constantly amazed on what other people doing
David Lee Roth
I live and breathe and do four times as much four times as fast as anyone else.
