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
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
David Lee Roth
People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.
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
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
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

David Lee Roth
Audience participation should extend from on-stage to backstage to under the stage
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
A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.
David Lee Roth
Nobody's going to get a hot dog at my concert!
David Lee Roth
I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.
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 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
I live and breathe and do four times as much four times as fast as anyone else.
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
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
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 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.
