More quotes by 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
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
Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely.
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
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
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
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
It dont matter WHAT your doin, ust as long as you LOOK GOOD doin it
David Lee Roth
I used to have a drug problem, but now I have enough money.
David Lee Roth
I would just like to say that after all these years of heavy drinking, bright lights and late nights, I still don't need glasses. I drink right out of the bottle.
David Lee Roth
I think the two most difficult things to deal with in life are failure and success
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
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
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 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 light you see at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train.
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
My ambition is to further create a signature sound, a signature spirit, that makes some kind of contribution to music in general.
David Lee Roth
I change as the times change. I'm a reflection of what's around me without trying at all.
David Lee Roth
I live and breathe and do four times as much four times as fast as anyone else.
David Lee Roth
