I've had my fill of One Way To Rock or I Can't Drive 55. Those are guy songs to me, and I'm cool with that. But when you write a great love song and you start seeing that 50 percent of your audience is beautiful women, that's much more rewarding, than having a bunch of guys out there.

I feel it's such a tragic thing [Kurt Cobain's suicide]. Here is a guy, a young guy, that had everything in his hands. He could have had a great life. He had a wife, he had a child, he had a fantastic career. He was important to a generation. And for him to do that - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong.

I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.

Love Walks In, it was the same thing. That song is about aliens, by the way.

I wish I would have known Kurt Cobain. I would have been the first guy there to get him help, doing anything I could have. I just felt like the people around him kind of let him down.

It took me a long time to put it to use in things, but the name of my publishing company is Nine Music, and Red became my theme song.

All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be, then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way.

It's a good thing I don't read everything Eddie says, or I'd be up in arms and not enjoying my life.

I would like to enlighten people.

Dave was great in Van Halen. No question about it. He was one of the best at being Mr. Rock Star. But it's sickening to see a guy still trying to be that with a wig on 20 years later.

I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like Love Walks In, I can do it.

I've always been into writing love songs.

That song [Don't Tell Me] didn't take us anywhere, and I know why now. It wasn't what Van Halen fans wanted. It showed the darkness of Van Halen, and basically the end of the band.

There are a lot of people going around where an alien took over their body, and their soul will actually leave and be, like, in a sleep or in a near-death situation.

I see couples fighting about the stupidest things. You just have to rise above everything.

I'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.

In Van Halen there were moments, like in some of the ballads, I put my heart and soul into those records. Those lyrics when I sang 'em, I gave myself goosebumps.

I'd say it [I Can't Drive 55] has probably been the most successful song I've ever been involved with, including any Van Halen songs.

We always sold 4 or 5 million records no matter what we did.

Yes, I'm looking at you, looking at me, looking at you, looking at me, looking back at you.
