More quotes by David Lee Roth
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
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
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
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
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 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

David Lee Roth
You know what rock musicians are? They are hung up, neurotic, over-weight hippies with sex problems.
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.
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
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
People say that life is a cesspool of darkness and dispair. Well we of Van Halen are sailing through it in a yacht!
David Lee Roth
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
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
I live and breathe and do four times as much four times as fast as anyone else.
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
The light you see at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train.
David Lee Roth
I'm a family oriented guy I've personally started four or five this year.
David Lee Roth
A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.
